Intern in Britain

Job description

If you're an overseas student or recent graduate and want to get professional experience in your academic field, then a UK internship is the place to do it.

Multicultural, diverse and a total powerhouse when it comes to business – working in the UK will add serious gravitas to your CV. Attracting talent from across the globe in every sector from technology to the arts, you’ll learn from leading professionals in your field, grow your connections and develop a bunch of vital soft skills. All while living in one of the most exciting and forward-thinking places in the world. Now, if that’s not your British cup of tea – we're not sure what is.

The job bit

If you’re a full-time student or recent graduate, BUNAC provides the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), Temporary Work Government Authorised Exchange (GAE) visa help, and in-country support you need to do a one-six month paid or unpaid internship in the UK. You can either find your own professional internship, or we can connect you with organisations from finance to fashion who are actively looking to take on international interns.

The visa bit

BUNAC can sponsor students and recent graduates of all nationalities to apply for a Temporary Worker GAE visa, as long as they hit certain criteria. This includes being 18+ and a full-time degree level student, or have graduated within the last 24 months at the start of your internship. With a HQ in London, our team are on the phone and on the ground to help sort your placement, sponsorship and visa from start to finish.
