London Placement

This unique 6-week course offers you the chance to take a short-term, credit-bearing internship in London.

Completing an internship abroad can be life-changing. You will gain valuable and career-focused practical experience while applying your academic knowledge to develop a range of transferable, professional skills. Upskilling your resume in this way can help you stand out in a crowded job market.

While you complete your work placement, a framework of exercises will encourage you to reflect upon the theoretical and practical issues relating to your professional development. You will also be guided to create an up-to-date and polished resume.

Learning outcomes include:

- Critically reviewing the concept of the ‘organisation of work,’ as it currently exists in the UK
- Analysing specific elements of the employment relationship from the perspective of your placement experience
- Evaluating the validity of a variety of management theories and models in terms of their practical and conceptual value.

The application deadline is based on when you’re available to intern.

Applications must be received at least 14 weeks before your intended start date.

This visa is issued by the British government and allows you to stay in the UK for the duration of your programme. The application process is complex, but you will be given instructions on how to apply. You will need to prepare in advance to apply and submit all of the relevant documents required. You can apply up to 12 weeks in advance of your arrival date once LSBU has issued your visa documents. Note that the fee for this visa is not included in the programme price and will need to be paid directly by you. The fee is currently:

£348, Tier 4 Visa Fee – This fee will be paid by you directly to the UK government when you submit your online visa application.

Note that you should also budget your time and funds to get to a relevant centre to submit your biometric data, as well as the purchasing of return UPS mailing labels. There are also options in most countries to purchase Priority or Super Priority services to speed up the process. Additional fees apply and are payable directly to the relevant Visa Application Centres.
