Discover the London Program Experience Through Other Beyonders’ Eyes

“I would recommend Beyond Academy because overall its such an incredible experience. Its not like studying abroad through school because you are really immersed in it, you are here living and working and it really gives you the opportunity to feel like you are making headway in your career. ”

Francesca from the United States Theatre Production Intern, London Immersive Program

“I have learnt an insane amount over the last two months. Having been at Uni for two years, I have learnt so much more in a short space of time. I love the fact that so much effort has gone into us having a such a good time. My overall experience so far has been incredible, the balance between working and having fun with friends, and the accommodation has just been great.”

Kim from South Africa
Engineering Intern, London Immersive Program

“What I loved about Beyond Academy and why I choose them is because they are more flexible and more individually tailored to what each person is looking for, rather than just a generalised experience. My group and the entire Beyond community has been really welcoming. I am so lucky to be able to have this experience with people that are similar, as in we are all looking to grow personally, grow professionally and also just enjoy every moment. Everyone here has left behind the familiar and has come to the unfamiliar which can be scary, but when you have a community as good as this, it’s not scary at all.”

Hannah from the United States
PR & Journalism Intern, London Immersive Program

“I choose Beyond Academy because I really liked the chance to have both a travel experience and at the same time get some work experience.My favourite thing about Beyond Academy has been the opportunity to really dive into London, and at the same time you have the support beyond so you don’t feel alone in this whole experience.”

Alexandra from Denmark
Research Analyst Intern, London Immersive Program

“I thought I would explore the world, gain some work experience, and have fun while doing the things I love. My experience so far here in London is very much engaging and fun. I work in a casting agency, I am able to meet so many people that came from art school and want to work on films. ”

Grant from the Philippines
Casting Intern, London Immersive Program

“I intern at a Film Festival, it’s by trafalgar Square. I have got to know a lot of people here and so I have made a lot of connections in the field I want to go into it. I have connected with a quite a few interns which I think I got super lucky with cause we are all good friends now. This internship has made me more confident in generally going for more jobs and just working in a professional setting.”

A Professional Engineering Internship

With start dates every month, and lasting between one and six months, you can choose the internship program that works for you.

Working in London, you’ll gain top engineering experience. London is a truly global hub; an international crossroads, you’ll make links with plenty of people and firms here. Which will open up your horizons for future employment.

British work culture is totally unique. While they’re professional and courteous in business affairs, Brits love to unwind after a busy day with after-work drinks or dinner. This is the perfect time to break the ice; indulge in some lighthearted banter and ironic humor and you’ll soon win your new colleagues over. Build strong relationships and you’ll prosper.

And when you live in London, you’ll never be short of things to see and do. There are few places with more world-famous museums than London. Try the British Museum for an experience that takes you all over the globe. Or take an open-top bus tour around the city to discover the myriad of iconic landmarks, from the Houses of Parliament to Buckingham Palace.

Immersive workshop

Take part in our carefully structured workshop to get a head start in your internship.

Working with professional coaches and speakers, you’ll undertake exercises in key skills.

A typical workshop will include lessons in communication, problem solving, and leadership. You’ll leave this session ready to face every challenge your internship could throw at you.

Career coaching & support

In your career coaching session, you’ll reflect on your progress so far; as well as the next steps you’d like to take. A professional coach will offer you the guidance you need to achieve your aspirations and improve professionally.

Your schedule will be packed full of meetings, networking events, dinners and trips; so pencil this session in at the right time for you.

Some interns prefer an early appointment in order to prepare themselves for the weeks ahead. This is a great way to get yourself in the mindset for success.

Your London program
at a glance

Here’s your guide to just what it’s like as an engineering intern in London, based on a typical 6-week internship with Beyond Academy.

Weeks 1 & 2

As your wheels touch the ground, step off the plane and savor your first taste of a brand new country. You’ll be itching to get out there; first, meet us at the airport and we’ll take you straight to your new accommodation.

Use day one to settle in. You can spend the day relaxing in your new home, or make a start on exploring your surroundings. Whatever you choose, join us on day two for your welcome orientation. Here we’ll get you up to speed with what awaits you in London; then meet your fellow interns as you join the Beyond Community. Once you’re a part of it, you’ve got friends for life.

You’ll be eager to start, so make a good impression on your colleagues and dive in. After a busy first day, why not unwind at a community dinner? Regale your new friends with your experiences over some delicious food. Afterwards, take a walk along the beautiful River Thames to get home – or simply jump on the Tube.

As you progress in your internship, you’ll be regularly faced with challenges. Many interns take an early workshop to get their skills up to scratch for the coming weeks. Head along to take part in exercises in communication, leadership, and more!

Soon enough, it’s time for your first day trip. Journey to Cambridge and immerse yourself in this enchanting, picturesque city. Try your hand at punting down the River Cam, then purchase a unique souvenir to remind yourself of your time here.

Weeks 3 & 4

As the weeks go on, you’ll grow more comfortable in your role. You’ll have mastered a multitude of industry-specific software; and you’ll be producing regular calculations, sketches and reports as you progress in your projects. So head out with your manager to a nearby café and discuss what you’ve achieved so far.

London is bursting with opportunity; you’ll discover a brand new world full of interesting people. To help you develop your list of contacts, we’ll send out an invite to a industry networking event. Meet some top leaders and swap contact details; you never know where it could lead!

For your second trip, you’ll take a journey down to the West End for an unmissable night on the town. Take in an amazing show and finish off your evening with dinner or dancing!

Weeks 5 & 6

As your internship nears its end, you’re looking back on what you’ve done. Professional industry experience, a unique cultural education, life-long friends and a network of contacts; not bad for six weeks.

If you haven’t already, now’s a good time to pencil in your one-to-one career appointment. Discuss your internship with a professional coach, including your successes and failures. Then start planning your next career steps.

Your final trip? A food tour. Explore London’s diverse and sumptuous world of food as you take a winding tour through the city’s back streets, indoor markets and alleys. Follow a guide as you taste all the culinary riches the city has to offer.

Before you leave, you’ve got one last event to attend; so put on your best clothes and head to your goodbye dinner. You’ve made life-long friends while living in London; so congratulate each other and say farewell. In your final days, you’ll want to make the most out of the city. Take an open-top bus tour of London’s iconic sites. Or why not do something less touristy and check out the fake houses of Leinster Gardens? You won’t regret it.
