Paid Internship in the UK
Take part in a UK paid internship to improve your English language skills
The paid hotel internships programme is open to students of all nationalities who have at least an intermediate level of spoken English and some work experience in the hotel, hospitality or customer service sector. Paid internships in the UK with Eurolingua are an ideal opportunity for both European (EU) and International Students (non-EU) to upgrade their English language skills not only in a classroom situation but also in an everyday working environment. Participants will earn at least the UK minimum wage, the same as other British workers doing the same job, in accordance with British law on National Minimum Wages in the United Kingdom.

How do international students (non-EU) join a hotel internship in the UK?
Non-EU students require a STUDENT VISA to enter and work legally in the United Kingdom, granted by the nearest British Embassy. Our paid hotel internships lead to the Cambridge Certificate in Work Experience or the Advanced Certificate in Work Experience. This ‘study and work’ format is known as a “sandwich course” and is recognised by the British Embassies for Visa purposes and is thus ideal for non-EU students. It is the best and quickest way to apply for and be granted a Student Visa for our UK paid internship programme.
Do you need a Visa?
Bulgarian and Romanian citizens from January 2007 do NOT need a visa for the UK but must enrol on a study and work programme (“sandwich course”) and register with the British Home Office by sending, on arrival at our UK school, a BR1 Form with either their passport or ID card. After the mandatory 4-week course, Bulgarian and Romanian citizens can usually work full-time for up to a year on this basis and also receive a certificate by a nationally recognised examining body. The programme fee for a paid internship in the UK is £GB1270 (full programme).
