I will never forgot my summer in London! It was amazing and will always have a special place in my heart. Absolute Internship did a terrific job placing me with a perfect internship. The housing was clean, well-located nearby the tube and all the events and trips organized were awesome. Especially our weekend in Paris!!!

I recommend Absolute Internship to anyone who is looking into interning abroad! Great program!

I spent two months of this summer in London and I love every second of it! From the very first email contact I had with Absolute Internship I was impressed by the swiftness and professionalism by the Absolute team. My internship experience in London was exactly what I was expecting. I really enjoyed meeting and working side by side with my colleagues and Absolute really understood what my internship goals of the summer were. I really learned a lot from my experience abroad.

Not only was everything in London well organized by the program, the Absolute staff in London was extremely friendly, kind and inspirational! I loved how this program is so unique. I especially appreciated all the coaching that I received throughout my internship and the thousands of tips/advices of where to go and what to do in London. The people that you meet are also a great aspect of this program. I loved also all the weekend trips and activities that the program organizes. I can’t recommend this program enough, if I could do it all over again – I’d do it in a heartbeat!

Absolute made my internship and trip overseas possible! London has always been a place I wanted to travel to. I loved my time in London, and Absolute delivered great support to myself throughout my entire time in England. Giulia helped me with so many “inside tips” on what to explore and what to do in London which was really useful. I loved the housing, my internship and the amazing people that I met through this incredible program.

I would highly recommend Absolute Internship.

I was recommended to join Absolute Internship by my Uni in Australia and I am glad I did, it was a life changing experience! I met so many lovely people, visited so many beautiful places and got the chance to intern and gain experience. I miss the program and everyone so much.
London is a great city to start a career in the creative industry and the experience has definitely opened my eyes on the industry and my career path.
The on site team is simply perfect for the program. They make you feel comfortable from day one. They really go out of their way for your experience to be unique and for you to enjoy every single moment of your program.
Thank you for such a great time

Absolute was the best experience that I was able to have. The program is a perfect mix of work and fun. You intern Monday to Friday and then in the weekend you have lots of time to explore the city. I loved my internship when I was there. I was interning at a cool startup. Not as formal as you think, which I preferred and I learned a lot while being there since the founders and the startup team taught me a great deal about things such as SEO, online marketing and strategy which really inspired me. The absolute staff is extremely accommodating and helpful. The accommodation is great as well, clean, well-located and all the interns live together which is awesome.
Best summer I ever had!

Spending the summer living in an amazing city like London should be on everyone’s must do-list! I truly enjoyed the program by Absolute Internship, loved the support that I received and the people that I met.

Overall an incredible program and internship, great people, awesome program activities and excursions.

Thank you for the best summer guys!

The Absolute Internship Program is a fantastic way to experience London while gaining work experience at the same time. I met lots of interesting and different people from all around the world and made life-long friends through the program.

Everyone in the program is doing different types of internships, so you have interns doing business, public relations, marketing and many other cool industries. Everyone hang out with each other after work and in the weekends since Absolute does a great job putting together events every week.

I would highly recommend the program for anyone that is looking for a life changing experience!

I completed the one month program in London. I always wanted to visit Europe and I am happy I chose to go with Absolute Internship. Program staff were amazing, my internship was great and the people I met through the program awesome. I wish I have stayed longer. I’m still in close contact with all the other interns who were part of the program.
I would recommend traveling to London for an internship and the program to anyone considering work experience overseas.

Thank you guys for a great summer!

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

What do you tell your friends who are thinking about going abroad?

I would tell them to take the opportunity and go! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I absolutely do not regret anything. I've met amazing people from around the world who have inspired me so much.

Additionally, living in such a cultural melting pot has widened my view on the world and I've experienced so many opportunities that wouldn't be possible in Australia. Most importantly, I would recommend that everyone intern abroad as your CV will thank you so much!

The Australian graduate market is increasingly competitive and an internship automatically places you above other people and this can only be a good thing.

What was the hardest part about going abroad?

The hardest part of going overseas is leaving my family and friends for 2 months. This was my 1st time overseas without my family and it honestly didn't sink in till I arrived.

Although I felt nervous and home sick at the start, these feelings almost disappeared instantly as the Absolute staff, other interns and my supervisors made me feel at ease in England. In fact, I almost forgot how much I missed home in a few weeks as I was so busy learning and enjoying the London life!

Although you miss home, there are so many means of contacting friends and family back home thanks to the Internet and social media. And being away from home for 2 months makes you realize how important and special your friends and family back home are!

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

My one piece of advice would is be ready to learn, adapt and embrace the internship and the country. Being adaptable to change is an amazing quality and it makes your time overseas instantly better! Make use of your internship and learn as much as possible. Embrace your internship city and experience everything that the city has to offer.

Go out every night as you'll never know when you'll be back in that city. Having the above quality makes your internship period an experience you'll never forget. Lastly, I would recommend bringing the appropriate clothing for overseas.

I went to London in winter and I didn't bring enough warm clothing and got sick for 1.5 months! So make sure you stay healthy.

International Internships in London in more than 25 Fields

Job Title

Europe General Manager

Carla is the General Manager for Europe at Absolute Internship. She has joined the Absolute Team after spending five years in Beijing and Shanghai. What brought her to China was a deep interest in Chinese Language and Culture, in which she graduated in the Foreign Language and Culture University of Turin, in Italy. In China, she combined the studies with working experience in an Italian consulting firm and in a leading Advertising Agency, specialized in serving international luxury brands.

woman teaching

Which destination is most underrated? Conversely, which is most overrated?

I personally spent 4 years living in Shanghai and I feel the majority of people is not aware of how amazing China is.
Because of their role in the economy and their incredible history and tradition, I feel that people should have a better understanding of China. It has so much to offer and is developing so quickly that I genuinely think is the place-to-be for students!

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

In my opinion is to believe that what you do has a purpose, that you are doing something meaningful and that has a positive impact on people's life. This is what motivates the whole team and that makes us successful.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

I believe Absolute Internship is unique because of the passion and care that each team member has for the job. We value each student, we go above and beyond. This is also due to the fact that we are a very international team and each one of us is still facing the challenges of living abroad, we totally understand how a student is feeling when planning to join one of our international programs.

Describe a time when you felt especially proud to be part of your current team.

If I should pick a time I would say at the end of the past summer program in London when I realized that all the students - a very high number - had an amazing time and were grateful for our efforts and ongoing support. Generally whenever a student tells me the program has been the best time of her/his life and that has changed her/him deeply on a personal and professional level, I feel proud and satisfied.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

My favorite story is the one of a British student who decided to join the program after meeting me at a Career fair. At the time he was a First Year student, never been abroad and decided to join our Hong Kong program. He was lacking of self-confidence and not aware of what to expect there. Because of his positive mindset and great personality, he enjoyed the program and grown so much, that he decided to go back to Asia for one more year! We are still in touch and I am sure he has a bright future ahead!

London, although typically regarded for its architecture and city lifestyle, is made up of 40% public green space in the form of incredibly lush parks. London has created an environment where you can spend the day enjoying city life and then escape to Primrose hill, the Thames, or a walk by the canals.
