Internship Abroad in one of the Biggest Business Capitals of the World

I was so excited to be working abroad in a corporate role. For my placement, I got the amazing oppurtunity to work for a start up company that aligned with my background. I was so eager to contribute to the team and learn from them. In the future I also hope to be part of a team that is diversed and well rounded. I got to shadow o many different roles within the company. I was blessed because I got to work for a startup company so all the departments within the team worked very close with one another, and it was great being able to gain knowledge from all that expertise.

What was your funniest moment?
I loved using the public transportation in London and purposely getting lost in the city. I explored so many cool areas of London and just being able to do that in the city was so much fun.
Pros
  • Living independent
  • Lifelong skill development
  • Resume Booster
Cons
  • Home sickness
  • Some culture shock
  • The fear of missing out, there's so much to do and you feel like you won't get to it all

Interning Abroad

I absolutely loved my experience of studying abroad through CEA CAPA. From the very beginning, CEA CAPA was extremely supportive in making sure that I was offered the position at an internship that fit my needs and major at school. They set up meetings between my supervisor and I to make sure that I was comfortable before heading overseas to meet with them, and any time I had a question, both CEA CAPA and my internship supervisor were extremely helpful and quick to provide support! I felt so comfortable and welcomed throughout the entire experience.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My future advice would be to soak in every moment! I was nervous to study abroad in such a large and busy city, but embracing the chaos of the city is a part of the process! You can learn so much about yourself by navigating a new city and reaching out to new people. Never be afraid to talk to new people, as most people are so friendly! A lot of people in the city are willing to help you if you are ever lost, so don't be afraid to talk to others.
Pros
  • One big pro of travellers to the London program is how central your living community is to the city!
  • The classes are super immersive and provide lots of field trips in order to expand your real world knowledge.
  • Learning through an internship how different cultures and countries work can be super beneficial, as you never know what sort of work environment you may end up in in the future!
Cons
  • It was occasionally difficult to navigate a packed schedule, with both an internship and a full load of classes, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier!

Being in London as an American

I lived in London for about a month and a half while going to work and taking classes. CEA CAPA gave clear instructions on what to do and how to do it for nearly every situation like being attacked, needing medical care, mental health care, and even leaving the country. It is impressive with how much they take into account with our well being while we are abroad. There were some time that other students within my program needed to contact CAPA in an emergency, and they were able to help out with the situation.

CEA CAPA London Internship Program

I spent a semester abroad via the CEA CAPA London Internship Program as a U.S. student. I mostly decided to do the program due to the internship opportunity, which has been beneficial to have on my resume after returning to the U.S. The academics abroad were good as well, as my professors were London based with many qualifications. The CEA CAPA staff were supportive and hosted events to help students get involved. Housing was decent, but be mindful of crime. Overall, I thought it was worthwhile.

CEA CAPA Internship Experience

My internship journey in London was truly one of the most enriching experiences I've ever had. Through the impeccable guidance of the internship team at CEA CAPA, I was seamlessly connected with a remarkable company where I quickly found my stride and became an integral part of the team. Opting to work for a smaller company turned out to be one of the most pivotal decisions of my life. They warmly embraced me, offering mentorship and support, ensuring that my time studying abroad was nothing short of exceptional. The camaraderie fostered within the company made me feel like I was part of a close-knit family. I can’t thank the CEA CAPA team enough for orchestrating such a transformative experience during my time abroad.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Looking back, one aspect I regret not embracing sooner was the opportunity to connect with fellow students within the program. It wasn't until after the first month that I actively sought out interactions with other students, and now, those individuals have become some of my closest friends.
Pros
  • Resume Builder
  • Lifelong Friendships
  • Becoming a world Traveler
Cons
  • Wish it was longer

Amazing Program!!

My time in London with CEA CAPA was amazing. I had the opportunity to live in the heart of the city, do an internship, and take very cool classes. My internship placement was excellent, I got to work in my field of study in a company where I met a lot of people from England and from all over the world. The classes at CAPA were amazing with a lot of field trips around the city to enrich the learning experience. The staff at CAPA was always extremely helpful and supportive throughout the semester. I am very happy I studied abroad, this experience helped me grow, expand my horizons, and meet a lot of amazing people and places.

Amazing Experience

Interning while in London was wonderful. The internship team was helpful and supportive. Navigating a new country is extremely difficult, especially when you also take on an internship, but the team at CEA CAPA made it a breeze. I had a different internship placement originally but it conflicted with my class schedule and luckily the team in London was able to re-assign me. It was a life-changing experience and extremely rewarding, one that I am so grateful to have added to my résumé. I can’t recommend this program enough!

CAPA london

I had the most amazing semester in London. The classes were interesting and different than anything else I had ever experienced. Largely due to the amazing field studies in many different courses that had us going out doing things I wouldn’t typically do for example a graffiti art walking tour. The housing was excellent in a very safe and residential community. I had a great time exploring London with all the museums, art, food, culture, and especially theater. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to explore, get out of their comfort zone, and up for non traditional learning.

Pros
  • Housing in central London
  • Oyster card for unlimited travel in zones 1+ 2
  • Lots of travel experiences
Cons
  • No dining plan
