How long is a Virtual Internship?
4, 6, 8, or 12 weeks – it’s up to you. You can also commit anywhere between 10-30 hours per week to your internship. The beauty of virtual internships is that they are flexible to fit your studies and lifestyle.
What companies could I be working for?
Host companies range from big organisations to startups and SMEs. Over 70% of interns work directly with the founder or c-suite member of their host company!
Why is internship experience so important?
A virtual internship gives you the chance to gain the soft and hard skills you need to succeed in your future career. You’ll be able to work with CEOs, incredible leaders, and more throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Will a virtual internship make me more employable?
1 in 4 interns are offered a position by their host company following completion of their virtual internship.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (US) released their 2021 Job Outlook report noting, “Employers continue to indicate that internship experience is the deciding factor between two otherwise equally qualified candidates.”
Gain the skills employers want
Not only will you gain the experience you need, but you’ll also gain the soft skills employers actively want in new hires by working remotely including time management, prioritization, cultural awareness, and so much more.
It’s more than an internship
You’ll be supported throughout by your internship experience manager. You’ll develop core skills needed to advance in the future through our professional development hub of 12+ courses. You’ll have access to a career coach who will help you leverage your internship experience to land the job you want. And of course, you’ll gain the valuable experience you need.
It’s entirely accessible – no need to relocate, travel, or commute
Internships shouldn’t be available only to those that can afford to relocate to big cities or travel abroad. Virtual internships make real-world work experience with innovative, international companies accessible to all, regardless of your degree choice, location, or background.

I'm very disappointed by the activities, that have been very boring, uninteresting and ripetitive, in 2 months I had just 1 trip(to London), i was expecting much more.
As for the rest, it has been a pleasure to live this experience.
There are very good teachers, and the classes are interesting, useful and flexible to needs. The location is very good. It is easy to go there by walking from the accommodation. The facilities and activities are attractive and interesting, and were well-organized.
The staff is very kind, friendly, and helped in everything.
The weakest point for me was the accommodation. It got noisy at night.
The school is very good. The teachers are friendly and very good.
Moreover, the activities in the school and during your trip are quite interesting!
The school is next to the center of Bristol, and the places next to it are wonderful!
We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.
If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from EC Bristol. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.
If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 75 when you register.
Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Bristol based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.
