The International Internship
Programme
Our Internship Programme (6-12 weeks
in duration) is designed for organisations that require additional
resources to begin or complete outstanding business
projects. We can provide motivated,
well-educated volunteers from international
universities, who can help drive your company
forward. In return candidates can develop their
business skills and gain experience of working within the
UK. We understand that every employer is
different and aim to find the most suitable candidates for
you. Once a candidate has been chosen, we will keep in
regular contact with you throughout the internship to ensure that
everything runs smoothly.
Student
profile
Our candidates come mainly from Japan and
the U.S. and offer a wide variety of skills and experience. They
are graduates and undergraduates from reputable universities, aged
between 19 and 35. As members of the 'Study Abroad Programme'
at the University of Westminster they opt to combine their
academic studies with a voluntary placement in a field related to
their skills, experience and interests.
We have successfully placed students in a
range of projects and examples of employers include:

Think London
