Back_topParticipant Life:

Once you get yourself acclimated to living in London, there are many opportunities to enjoy the authentic British life.  Parks abound throughout the city and many prestigious museums are free to the public.  London's cultural history is everywhere- from the Tower of London to St. Paul's Cathedral to the Houses of Parliament.  London also has a great nightlife including clubs and discos, pubs and restaurants, concerts, theaters, and public events.   The different activities available are so numerous they could never be listed here; interns will never find themselves at a loss for something to do in their spare time.

Back_topCost and Dates :

Internships can be arranged to last any length of time from two months to six months in length.  If you wish to intern for longer than six months, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you.  Participants can choose when they would like to start and the duration of their program.  Start dates are flexible, but are based on the needs of the host company as well as the intern.
