The United Kingdom has been a global financial hub for decades. With a consistently strong currency and robust economy, it’s safe to say that some of the best financial minds are in the UK.
So where better to start your career in finance with a bang than with an internship in the UK?
You don’t have to choose between travelling and your career. Because you can do both!
In this internship, you’ll sharpen your competitive edge in the job market while doing a finance internship in the United Kingdom. And when you go with Global, you get:
The common catch 22 of university graduates: you need experience to get a job. But you need a job to get experience.
On top of this, you want life-changing experiences while exploring the world – not the average 9-5.
But this is an important stage in your career. If you don’t start working now, you could be left behind in the job market.
One way to work around this common conundrum is with an internship abroad.
You can gain real life experience by living abroad without sacrificing career progress.
Can you imagine your life in the United Kingdom? You’ve landed an internship in the centre of bustling London. You’re loving your fellow colleagues – a diverse group of people with plenty of experience and knowledge of the finance world.
Seeing what the job involves on a day to day basis has helped you refine your career path. Besides, you're making connections and learning the ropes. And the thought of how this internship will look on your resume makes you giddy. It’s your secret weapon that’ll take you from student to professional with ease.
So when you start your first real job in your industry, you’ll hit the ground running with all the experience you racked up abroad.
On top of this, you’re in a foreign country that’s begging to be explored! Weekends off are filled with bucket-list experiences as you go on adventures with your new friends. The UK is so well connected to the rest of Europe. So a weekend away in another country is a common occurrence!
And when you book with Global, you book with the best. You get all of this without all the hassle. Your internship is confirmed before you leave and our team will help you find accommodation, too.
Plus, world-class support for the duration of your trip, and all the extras.

While we would love to include flights and insurance in our trip packages, it is not feasible to have a fixed price due to the diverse destinations, trip durations, and individual coverage needs of our travellers from around the globe. However, once you register for the trip, we will assign you a dedicated Travel Concierge. They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!
The internships are unpaid, however, the experience you gain during the placement is invaluable. You will have the opportunity to develop hands-on skills relevant to your field of interest, enhance your resume, and often receive a strong professional reference, which will prove to be highly beneficial for your future career!
Upon arrival (or at any point during your trip), you will be provided with four nights of hostel accommodation as part of your inclusions. Our in-country partner will assist you in finding a comfortable and affordable place to stay near your host organisation for the duration of your internship.
While some trips require you to be currently studying or have relevant experience in the field, many do not! We consider a wide range of non-academic factors as well. We encourage absolutely anyone and everyone to register, and we will do everything we can to find you the perfect placement.
Most of our interns opt for a 8-12 week placement. This timeframe allows interns to gain significant experience, develop valuable skills, and make the most out of their internship opportunity. It strikes a balance between ensuring a meaningful experience and providing ample time for professional growth. However, we understand that individual circumstances may vary, so we offer flexibility in program durations to accommodate different availability and goals.
Absolutely! Every intern who successfully completes their placement will be awarded a certificate of completion. This valuable certificate serves as a noteworthy addition to your professional portfolio, showcasing your dedication and achievement during your internship experience.
After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!
Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!
At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.
We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
