Best Summer Experience In My Life

If you want to meet amazing people from all around the world and gain international work experience this is a fantastic program. It’s a fun, easy way to meet amazing people and spend a summer in London. London is a very BIG city, so make sure that you research and get to know the city as well as you can before you arrive. The time flies during the program, so doing that before will save you so much time. Make sure to have an open-mindset and you will have a fantastic time in Europe with the program.

London is a great city to live and meet people. The absolute staff is there all the time for you and are very supportive. 100% recommend absolute!

Worst Service ever

This company charges a lot for offering a internship in some of cities around the world. They are supposed to investigate the eligibility of the company in order to get a visa. However, they realized the company I was accepted in, was not elegible. They gave the letter for the consulate one week before the program started. I had to pay for a priority visa service for over 300 dollars because of their mistake. I had to arrived to the program 10 days after i was supposed to. They promised me first to change the dates of the internship, however, this was a whole bunch of lies, as the housing dates could not be changed, as London Nest was supposed to leave the facilities the day i was supposed to leave on first place. After about 100 calls, which mainly were all unanswered, they offer me a partial refund, however, they only refund me for 5 days, as they were expecting to buy an airplane ticket on the same day that the visa arrived. Then they did not accept me on the Facebook group, and when i was about to ask the refund, they told me that how can I ask for a refund if i did not go to any of the events, which were announced on the Facebook group. Finally, I got a refund for only 5 days, and they payed via paypal, but they did not cover any of the charges, so I got a refund minus paypal charges.
The staff was so rude and unhelpful.

Two Thumbs Up For London

Best experience of my life! Wish I could have stayed longer than a month. Met so many great people and loved going to work each day!!
Awesome to be able to say I have a friend from Australia, Italy, New York, and many more. If I could go back every year, I would. No other experience like it. Visa process is a little frustrating because the Embassy is VERY SLOW on accepting/returning visas even if you do priority shipping but that has nothing to do with Absolute. I am now an ambassador for Absolute Internships because I believe in their vision 100 percent!!

My London Internship with Absolute Internship

I had a really good experience in my program with Absolute Internship as many other students in my group. The absolute staff was helpful and supportive with whatever I needed. Very lovely team!

I had a fantastic internship in PR and I was always busy, there was really never lack of things to do in London. I had always thought about of coming to the UK to study, but was happy that I ended up interning abroad instead. Overall, it was a really good summer and one of the best summers I have ever had.

Absolute Internship

My time in London is something that I will never forget. There was always a neighborhood or area of the city to explore which I loved. The absolute staff also organized events every week and weekend, restaurants visits. It was easy for me to adapt coming from Italy. The people of the program is very welcoming, supportive and helpful.

Great experience!

I cannot speak more highly of the Absolute Internship program. In such a bustling city like London, it was great having Absolute organise a guaranteed internship for me, as well as accommodation and numerous social activities.

All the interns got along splendidly and we ensured that we kept our weeks full with many social events and constant exploration to really maximise our time in the city. The internship was also really beneficial, and I was able to put into practice numerous things I had learnt in the classroom at University. I absolutely loved the experience and I only wish my time in London went on for longer!

What would you improve about this program?
I would suggest better accommodation, especially bigger rooms. I was also under the impression that each intern was to have their own room, but I didn't mind sharing.

A much worthwhile experience with Absolute Internship

I was privileged to be matched in a company that allocated me a project that was important to the company and where I felt that I was going to contribute to the growth of the firm. I also exposed to other projects within the industries that I’m interested into – publishing, advertising and journalism. During my internship, I worked independently but had the support from a mentor and manager at my company on a regular basis which was very helpful.

The Absolute staff and team have been exceptionally supportive throughout the whole duration of the process and during my my summer in London - from matching me with a suitable company and making it possible that I was in contact with them prior to my arrival, and organizing my accommodation, settling in to the fascinating various career development events and beautiful sight seeing places that are part of the program and as well as allowing me to meet other amazing students from the program.

A much worthwhile experience. Would recommend Absolute Internship to any student around the world who wants to experience London together with other fun and ambitious students.

Take me back to London now!

My experience with Absolute was nothing short of wonderful. The Absolute team was extremely helpful, friendly and genuinely kind. My accommodation was clean, well-located (5 min near a tube station), student-friendly (fun and very safe) and my internship was fulfilling. I couldn’t have asked for more.

I was very happy to arrive in London supported by the Absolute team and the rest of the interns. I made countless life-long friends through the program due to the bonds that we forged during the summer.

I would without doubt recommend Absolute to anyone who wants to experience London for a summer.
