Life After London
Thinking about what’s next after studying abroad? Here are some ways to continue your global experience by studying, interning, volunteering or teaching abroad.
BUNAC: WORKING ADVENTURES WORLDWIDE
BUNAC’s overseas work, travel, and volunteer programs offer students and young people an enriching and affordable alternative to package tourism. On a BUNAC program, you have the chance to live and breathe another culture from the inside rather than simply passing through as a tourist. For more than 50 years, BUNAC has made it possible for many thousands of young people to explore the world through work and travel opportunities.
Intern in Britain: Spend up to 6 months doing an internship in Britain. Students arrange the internship themselves or through personal contacts and BUNAC will assist with visa, housing, and living in the UK.

MOUNTBATTEN INSTITUTE
Mounbatten offers a full-time, one-year paid internship in London (non-UK/EU citizens only) or New York (non-American citizens only) with evening and weekend study to receive a Postgraduate Certificate or MBA in International Business Practice. MBA candidates who have successfully completed a 12-month work placement and courses, either in London or New York, are eligible to complete their masters degree with guided fieldwork in the Asia Pacific Region, based in Bangkok, Thailand.
ACROSS THE POND
Across The Pond provides free personal advice, guidance, and assistance with the application process to successfully help US students apply for postgraduate study in the UK.
