So much personal and professional growth!

I was very nervous to travel abroad alone, but the team at Absolute Internship supported and encouraged me through every doubt. I met my best friends, explored one of my new favorite cities, and learned so much about my desired career field. I am more confident in myself as a person and as a student entering my last year of college. I always had someone to turn to from the Absolute team when I needed something and by the end, I was so comfortable and had more confidence navigating a foreign city.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I grew up in Florida, so I had no idea how public transportation worked in England. When I arrived, I had to figure out how I would commute from my housing to my internship office in Central London. My Absolute Internship Coordinators were very helpful and transparent about how the tube worked, how much time I would need to give myself, and what to do when challenges with the tube arise. To overcome this fear, they encouraged us to practice our route to work the weekend before our internships started, which helped me relax immensely and made me more confident in my abilities to navigate the public transportation.
Pros
  • Learning about my desired industry
  • The food
  • Endless activities
What other participants should know
  • The changing weather
  • Length of commute to internship
  • Time difference from my hometown

Personal and professional growth!

I was very nervous to travel abroad alone, but the team at Absolute Internship supported and encouraged me through every doubt. I met my best friends, explored one of my new favorite cities, and learned so much about my desired career field. I am more confident in myself as a person and as a student entering my last year of college. I always had someone to turn to from the Absolute team when I needed something and I eventually felt so comfortable and at home in a city I've never been to before!!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I'm from Florida and had no idea how public transportation worked in England. When I arrived, I had to somehow figure out how I was going to get to my internship office in Central London from my housing. My program coordinators were very transparent with us on how exactly the city's transportation worked, how much time we would need to give ourselves, and challenges we could potentially face on our commute. They encouraged us to practice our commute the weekend before our start day, which made me immensely less stressed and helped me figure out the tube system in more detail.
Pros
  • Communication with locals was easy
  • The food
  • Walkability
What other participants should know
  • The constantly changing weather
  • The long commute
  • Time difference with my hometown

Incredible Experience!

This internship was one of the greatest decisions of my life. Getting to meet all of these amazing people from all over the world and work closely with another culture for a few weeks was super enlightening and is an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world. The coordinators were super kind and helpful, allowing me to enjoy my trip and get the most out of my internship. I loved getting to travel around the city and outlying areas, the train system making transportation quick and easy. The food was also amazing, I totally recommend Latymer’s thai!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would talk to a lot more people and go out more to experience as much as I can. I wish I befriended my coworkers sooner as well to have made meaningful connections with them all.
Pros
  • Great experience
  • Amazing people
  • Get to see a lot of places
What other participants should know
  • You will get tired from work
  • Not a lot of free days
  • Kind of pricey

My Absolute Experience

Absolute was present not only in finding us an internship, but they also made sure we had activities planned for the weekends, including visiting other cities and different places in London. Overall would recommend it for anyone who wants to not only gain professional experience but also for someone who wants to learn about different cultures and different countries.

I got to meet people from different places and formed friendships with them. I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend it.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would plan a bit better for my weekends, so I could take trips to other places in the UK like Scotland.

4 Weeks

My time in London was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this was going to be a journey I’d remember for years to come. There’s something about the energy of the city — the fast pace, the rich history, the mix of cultures — that immediately draws you in and keeps you wanting more. Every day brought a new experience, a new perspective, and a new opportunity to learn and grow, both personally and professionally. London has a way of pushing you out of your comfort zone in the best way possible. Whether it was navigating the Underground, trying unfamiliar foods, or simply adjusting to a different lifestyle, I found myself constantly adapting and embracing the unknown. It was exciting, sometimes challenging, but always rewarding. I gained so much just from being immersed in such a dynamic, global environment.

I fell in Love

I fell in love with London thanks to Absolute Internships. Not only did my placement manager, Tilly, find the perfect internship for me, but my onsite coordinators, Emma and Courtney, provided me with all the resources and support to take on London with peace of mind. Sure, I could have found an internship, housing, and figured out the visa process all by myself, but I would have been far too stressed, and the experience would have been tainted. Absolute ensures you get the most out of your time by helping you navigate your transition and the city, which is invaluable. Needless to say, I will be singing this company's praises for years to come!

Great Learning Opportunity at Acumen Media

This was a great experience because I learned a lot of new skills in branding and marketing. Interning at Acumen Media gave me hands-on experience with real campaigns, and I felt trusted and supported by the team throughout. The working environment was creative, collaborative, and motivating. I had the chance to contribute to projects involving social media, content creation, and strategic planning. This internship helped me grow professionally and gave me real insight into how branding works in the media industry. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to gain practical experience in a dynamic and inspiring workplace.

Everything was good.

A once in a lifetime experience

My internship in London is definitely one that will live on with me forever as it not only taught me about the professional workplace but it was also my first time living independently in a foreign country. I have learnt numerous soft and hard skills that will be extremely useful later on in my life whether it is career related or life in general. The friends I made from this experience is something that I won't forget as well due to our shared experiences and how we helped each other navigate this new environment.

What was your funniest moment?
It was me having to learn how to navigate the British dry humour and sarcasm. I had so many times where I tokk what I heard at face value.
Pros
  • Learning reslience
  • Being comfortable in uncomfortable situations.
  • Communication
What other participants should know
  • Weather in the area.
