About Program

The Bloomsbury Summer Programme allows you to study and intern in London for 8 weeks during the summer, enabling you to gain practical experience while earning academic credit. All majors are eligible for the programme.

You will undertake an unpaid placement for up to 2.5 days a week, as well as 4 work placement seminars spread across the 8-week semester. We generally work with medium to small-sized companies as in our experience, smaller companies can offer a more hands-on experience for you. We will ensure that all placements follow a learning agreement so that you are able to gain a variety of skills and be exposed to as many aspects of a British business as possible. You will have a supervisor who will closely monitor your work. AES only works with organisations that are able to offer one to one support for their interns.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with AES for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Experience of a Lifetime

Apr 15, 2015

I participated in the program in 2003, and it has had a significant impact on my career and my life. I was placed in an internship with the Liberal Democrats Parliamentary Press Office. Everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming, and they strove to give me an incredibly memorable experience. They invited me to a variety of meetings, social events, and conferences. I was given unique research and writing tasks. All of this gave me great insight into the world of politics--a world in which I thought I wanted to pursue a career. Instead, I realized that my passion was actually more in the policy arena rather than the actual politics, and I shifted my career path. Without this internship experience and the exposure I had to such a variety of activities, I am not sure if I would have ended up where I am today.

What would you improve about this program?
I am unsure of how the program has changed since 2003 (over 10 years ago!) but the only part that I wish had been different was that I wish there had been more people in my program. The year I went, there were only 2 of us, and we did not live together. I had a couple of friends on study abroad in London so that helped, but it could get a bit lonely in the evenings, especially being so far away from friends and family.

What position do you hold at Anglo Education? What has been your career path so far?

I have been at Anglo Educational Services since 2007, starting as the Centre Coordinator, then moving to Centre Manager when we upgraded our Study Centre, then to Student Services Manager in 2013. The favorite part of my job is meeting new people all the time and hearing stories from the students.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Always looking to improve. We are always asking students, Universities and out Internship sites for feedback so we can continue to provide a good service.

What country have you always wanted to visit?

I have worked with American students since 2007 and I have never been to America. I have always wanted to hire a van and travel all around the different states, taking in all the different cultures and trying all the different food.

London, although typically regarded for its architecture and city lifestyle, is made up of 40% public green space in the form of incredibly lush parks. London has created an environment where you can spend the day enjoying city life and then escape to Primrose hill, the Thames, or a walk by the canals.
