BUNAC can sponsor students or recent grads of most nationalities to intern in the UK for 1-12 months. Backed by 60+ years of work and intern abroad expertise, our dedicated UK-based team provide the sponsorship paperwork, step-by-step visa advice, employer vetting, and in-country check-ins to live and intern in the UK. Here's the juicy deets

The placement bit:

In a competitive job market, an international internship can be the thing that makes your resume stand out. But getting a foot in the door can be hard. If you already have an internship through your university or own contacts - we can act as your visa sponsors. We've sponsored past students to intern at Manchester Utd, Christies, The British Museum, House of Commons, Victoria & Albert Museum, and more

The money bit:

We can sponsor you to do a paid or voluntary internship. Salaries vary between placements, but they must meet at least the minimum wage requirements for the UK. The cost of living in the UK, especially in London, might be higher than in your home country. While we don't offer accommodation, we work with some great people who do. When you book, we'll give you all the intel you need on how to find a place to live.

The visa bit:

To intern in the UK, you need to be eligible for a Temporary Work GAE (Government Authorised Exchange) visa. This allows international students and recent grads of all nationalities to come to the UK for 1-12 months to complete short-term work experience. To be eligible for this visa, you must be 18+ and either a full-time degree level student or a recent graduate who will start their UK internship within 24 months of the date on your graduation certificate. We are one of the largest A-rated sponsors for this program and we've sponsored thousands of students and grads to make their mark in the UK. For the full eligibility requirements, visit our website, or give our BUNAC Support Squad a call for all the info and intel.
