Internships in London with The Intern Group

I absolutely loved my experience with Intern London. I learned so much about myself and about the world and that's exactly what I wanted. I now know that I want to travel for a while for my job and have gotten a new awareness about what I find frustrating in my career field. Having actual work experience gives you the ability to see what it all entails and gives you a chance to specify what you want.

Here I have to be honest. The London summer program is SO AWESOME! Firstly, we live in the central London, which means we can explore the central London anytime. Secondly, they organise many activities every weekdays or weekends, which helps interns know more about where they can go for eat or for fun. For example, the staff took us went to a fancy hotel to enjoy the classical British afternoon tea, saw the famous London Eye and the fabulous shows in the fabulous theatre etc. Thirdly, I really like my intern here. I worked for a fashion PR company. Actually, due to the English is not my first language, it is a disaster for me in the beginning of my intern. Since I could not totally understand the British accent, I could not independently finish my work everyday. During that time, I really felt that I made a big mistake in my life which I chose to London for summer intern. I felt so depressed and helpless. Therefore, I told Melisha and Ariana (they both from the intern group) that I wanted to go home earlier. However, she not only encouraged me so much, but also she told me join in their every activity. Gradually, I found I am not lonely at all. Also, my English became better and better. I started work independently even my boss took me to see some famous fashion editors even sent me to the VOGUE or The Times to show our samples. In addition, I kept a positive attitude to participated in many communities in London. I did many volunteer works, became a member of the famous pineapple dancing studio and went to some Lavender farms (I really love flowers) during my free time. Especially I just finished the Beyoncé Bootycamp in the Covent Garden. My life totally turn around.

All in all, I really really appreciate this opportunity, which widen my horizon and helped me learn a lot from my intern. I definitely strong recommend this program to everyone!

Before applying for the Intern Group London Programme, I had already completed three study abroad and internship programs. I can honestly say that London was by far my favorite one. My internship exceeded all of my expectations. I loved the office and the people that I worked with. They were so welcoming, and they quickly became my family, I truly felt at home. I was really passionate about the work that I was doing and I looked forward to going to work everyday. During my free time, the Intern Group was there every step of the way making sure that I was enjoying my experience. They organized various social events that allowed me to make new friends and get to know the real London. I learned so much about myself, the kind of work that I want to do in the future, and I think I even found a place that I would like to call my new home in the near future. As I go back to Boston to start my senior year of college, I'll take with me the memories of this life changing experience and amazing summer.

Participating in Intern London this past summer was an amazing experience. It was my first experience in a foreign country and my first experience working within my career path. I met so many amazing people through the program and through my work and definitely caught the travel bug. Living and working in London allowed me to grow as an individual, expose myself to new cultures, and gave me an insight to what jobs in my career field look like. Participating in this internship was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

My name is Matt and I did the 6 week program with The Intern Group's Intern London program. For those thinking about considering the program and with very little to no experience in their prospective fields, I would highly recommend it. They offer great internships through partner companies that are a great entryway to get your foot in the door. I am in a programming-related major and did an internship that involved a lot of HTML/CSS/WordPress. In addition to the internship, the intern london program has social events set up through their events coordinator Ariana. She is definitely one of the most nicest people I've ever met. Although the events aren't required to go, I would highly suggest going to all of them as they are your way of making friends with others in the program. If I wasn't going to be graduating next year, I would probably do the intern london program again.

I think a lot of the people I met through the program had this fantasy in terms of what the program would do for them. The truth at the end of the day is that many others chose this program to explore a new city and to find out what they can and want to do in life. When you look at it from that kind of perspective, the program did exactly what it was meant to do and much more. The coordinators go above and beyond to help fix problems you have and they're always kind and willing to help. It might not be perfect but I think imperfection gives people a more realistic idea on what life is and it helped me a lot in terms of letting me know what life in London is like.

Hi! My name is Allyson Hibdon and I interned with Bacchus PR for 6 weeks. I loved the company and working for them has been wonderful. Everyone is friendly and keen to help whether that's with daily tasks or with directions or with the best places to go so you get a real London experience. I was on the restaurant team and I got to learn SO much about PR and how restaurants get coverage in magazines and websites. The Intern Group was equally amazing. They keep you busy from the moment you land and they do everything to make London feel like home with events and social outing and check-ups. They were so helpful, especially Melisha and Arianna throughout the entire process, especially with writing a CV, taking requests about internship opportunities to heart, and giving a step-by-step on applying for a visa to work here.
I had very little problems with the Intern Group. They really go out of their way for you! My only problem was that my office was quite far, and if traffic was especially heavy it would take 2 hours to get to the office. I advise that you bring an umbrella, an adaptor, and that you plan ahead for Thursdays because for some reason that's when the tube loses its mind and you will be late to work if you don't plan ahead.

Overall, I had the time and experience of my life here with the Intern Group and with Bacchus PR. I've learned so much and made such great friends that I'm a bit sad to leave. The 6 weeks will go quickly so do make the most of it!

I started my journey with Intern in London with The Intern Group in Summer 2014. I worked for an incredible firm in central London where I was really exposed to both the financial service industry as well as cyber security. Not only did I get to work on real projects that really mattered, I was able to delve wholly into life in London. Almost a year and a half later, the confidence and skill set I got from my summer abroad via The Intern Group has led to internships at 2 Fortune 500 companies - and I haven't even finished university yet. I would highly recommend Intern Group's program for anyone looking for a start to a prosperous career.
