Sponsorship by BUNAC, supported by JENZA

Although we’re the same team of work(abroad)aholics behind the scenes, the JENZA Travel Group is made up of three work and travel brands – including BUNAC, USIT and JENZA. Since 2024, BUNAC has been our dedicated summer camp brand, and JENZA our dedicated work and intern abroad brand. Due to its heritage as a UK Government sponsor for international interns coming to the UK, BUNAC is the visa sponsor for our JENZA Intern UK program.

Why us?

55+ years of UK exchanges

Founded in 1962 by two British students as a non-profit, BUNAC (British Universities North America Club) established its first work program for US students to the UK in 1966. This later became know as the Work in Britain/Blue Card programme and was the largest outbound work abroad program for US students.

A-rated UK visa sponsor

Since 2009, we’ve worked closely with the UK Government to launch the current internship program for international students and grads. And today, BUNAC is one of the largest A-rated sponsors for the Temporary Work GAE visa that allows students to undertake professional internships in the UK.

Why the history lesson…

Almost 60 years later, our mission has never been more important. We believe that travel opens up a world of opportunities for young people. Each year, our dedicated UK and Ireland based team help thousands of students to come to the UK - setting them up with the sponsorship and support they need to succeed.

Placement flexibility

The UK is one of the leading places in the world to intern. Home to the sixth largest economy and an unrivalled creative scene, every type of industry and size of business is represented here – from big multinationals to global non-profits and independent start-ups. From fashion to finance, you can intern in most fields – and uniquely for an internship visa, you don’t have to do a placement in an area that’s connected to your degree.

Work experience

In a competitive job market, immersing yourself in a different cultural and professional environment with an overseas internship can help set you apart from other candidates and boost your future employability. You’ll learn from leaders in your field, build your network, and grow personally as well as professionally by living in one of the most dynamic and diverse places in the world. Plus, the historical cities and ancient ruins of Europe are right on your doorstep!
