Intern in the UK

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.

All nationalities

We can sponsor full-time students and recent grads of all nationalities to intern in the UK – making it an accessible first step to getting professional workplace experience either during or after uni. Whether you want to use your summer holidays to get ahead, need academic credit as part of your degree, or have graduated in the last two years and are wondering what's next – a UK internship will help put your resume firmly on the map.

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!
