Welcome to the King’s Internships Self-Source Guide: Each year hundreds of students at King’s source their own international internships. Now you can register your internship on King’s CareerConnect to join our programme to make the most of your time overseas. This programme is designed to empower students that have a clear idea about the type of organisation they would like to work for, or those who have already found their own international internship.
What are the Benefits of Internships? Interning abroad is a fantastic way to kick start your career, here is why:
1. Create an International Network Did you know… 97% of students believe interning abroad increased their self-confidence and maturity? Students who go abroad build new international long-term social, academic and professional networks that can increase global job prospects further down the line.
2. Develop Soft Skills 83% of students who had an internship abroad said it allowed them to acquire skill sets that influenced their career choice.
3. Employers Want You to Go 79% of Chief Executives in the UK believe that when recruiting new employees, knowledge and awareness of the wider world are more important than achieving a high degree grade.
4. Cultural Awareness 60% of those with overseas experience now liaise with international colleagues, suppliers and customers in their working life.
5. Apply your Knowledge 70% of students agreed their experience overseas sparked an interest in a career direction they ended up pursuing.

Getting Started Define your Goals Why are you applying for an internship? What do you want to get out of the experience? It is worthwhile to take the time to think about how the experience will benefit you, personally and professionally. You get out what you put in! Consider Timelines The question our team gets asked the most is “when can I start applying.” This is not a straightforward question, simply because it depends on the employer. When you’re applying for internships there isn’t one deadline. Often large organisations may take on 20 summer interns and the application process could open in November the year before. Smaller companies usually start between February and very close to the summer. The Global Internships Programme applications open in January. Applications for internships found on King’s CareerConnect are accepted for one month only, however with a Self-Source Internship the deadline to register your internship with King’s is in March. Don’t wait till the last minute to start applying- the earlier the better so you stay ahead of the game. Be Open to Stepping Outside your Comfort Zone Internships are a chance to experience work in a sector you’ve always wondered about or to make sure you’ll enjoy the work you are pursuing after graduation. Just because you study War studies doesn’t mean you must only search for war studies internships. Your skills and knowledge from your studies are transferable, and all companies will value your soft skills. If you’re studying business or finance you don’t need to work in an investment bank to gain valuable experience, all companies have finance staff, even ones that aren’t yet on your radar. First Impressions Last How is your CV? Does it align with the requirements of the country in which you are applying to intern? In most cases this is how an employer will gauge whether or not you would be a suitable candidate in their company- this is your chance to shine! Our Careers team at Kings is here to help with this process. In most cases internship contracts are extended, so it’s important to do your best and make the most of your time with a company.

Are you looking for experience in a Sector OR Location? Feedback from previous King’s interns is that when you identify what you expect to gain from the internship you are more likely get exactly what you want (and more) from the experience. What’s more important to you- gaining an experience in a particular sector of interest OR immerse yourself in a new culture in the workplace. I am interested in interning with an organization/ in a position that focuses on:
Accounting Banking & Finance Business & Consulting Entrepreneurship Logistics Tourism & Travel
Development, NGOs & Charities Energy & the Environment
Engineering Healthcare IT Pharmaceuticals
Marketing, PR & Advertising Media & Creative Industries
Law Public Sector, Policy & Politics
Business Sector.
Business Sector. As an intern in these countries you will have the benefit of an English-speaking tradition whilst simultaneously being culturally diverse.
Community Sector.
Community. Most multilaterals are some very popular destinations for voluntary work and internships are often unpaid and highly competitive.
Science Sector.
Science. The city of Basel hosts over 40 scientific institutions, 100,000 students, and 50,000 jobs devoted to the life sciences sector and 11 science parks.
Creative Sector.
Creative. Digital marketing expertise was the most desired skill set in 2016 according to McKinley Marketing. This hiring trend is expected to increase.
Society Sector.
Society. Hong Kong is one of the world’s most multicultural and hardest working cities, resulting in a unique and insightful experience. TargetJobs describes how legal skills are one of the highest demanded skills in Hong Kong.

Self-Source Our Self-Source Experience provides you with an opportunity to join directly onto the Global Internships Programme by registering an internship you have found independently on King’s CareerConnect once you have been offered the position. As a Global Intern: •

•
Finding your own internship abroad can be a challenging process, and tremendously rewarding
How do I find an Internship? This part of the process is arguably one of the most challenging, but most rewarding overall. There is not a “one size fits all” approach to finding the right internship, that’s why it is important for students to try not to be discouraged and keep an open mind during their search. Participating in a networking event, cold calling employers and combing through company websites have all proved to be effective ways to find the right internship. The internship can be sourced from: • • • •

Once you have applied to through a job advert online, see the resources below for links to recommended internship searching websites Through a personal contact networks, you’ve heard it before, but we can’t stress enough how important networking is. Check out our King’s Careers Blog for networking tips. From cold calling employers, this is when you contact your business of interest directly to ask if they have any jobs available. Youth Central has a good check-list of what to prepare for when cold-calling. King’s Career Fairs, Our Careers Fairs are often where London-based companies are able to reach out to students- although the location isn’t what you want, this is a good chance to get in front of employers and learn more about the industry you’re interested in. All King’s events can be found here and you can reserve your spot at the events on King's CareerConnect. KING’S CAREERCONNECT vacancies, King’s CareerConnect is a vacancy board where employers advertise jobs to King’s students, simply use the filters to find vacancies that interest you, there are many jobs in the UK and overseas. The King’s Global Internships Programme Employer model offers internships advertised on KING’S CAREERCONNECT based in Hong Kong, Brussels and a few other destinations. These opportunities have been sourced and approved by your King’s team. One you have paid for through a third party provider, Although students can register an internship with any third party provider, the 360 Support model offers this route with trusted providers who have worked with our team to offer exclusive opportunities to King’s students in selected international locations.

Top 10 Tips from our Team 1. Networking Ask your family, friends, professors, neighbours, graduate students for connections in your field. Start by asking yourself: Who do I know who may know someone in my field? According to What Color is Your Parachute?, networking has an 86% success rate – 12 times higher than the success rate for distributing resumes blindly. Perhaps that German graduate student who helps in your lab may have previously worked in Germany, where you are currently looking to intern abroad. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for advice or connections. 2. Partnerships Our Global Engagement office has partnered with fellow world-leading universities around globe to provide King’s students with exclusive access to research internships. Students selected are often offered round-trip flight tickets, and various other financial incentives: • National Chiao Tung University - Elite Internship Program • Shanghai Jiao Tong University - Summer Research Internship Program • Okinawa Institute of Science & Technology - Research Internship Program There are also UK government funded opportunities through organisations like the British Council’s Generation UK Programme, this offers a two month internship positions working in China for UK and EU passport holders.

3. King’s Global Careers Hub Our Global Careers Hub is a fantastic resource, exclusive to King’s College London students, and provides a great starting point for those who wish to pursue an international career. Each guide is focused on a different region and provides access to job boards, networking and careers events overseas and internship and volunteering opportunities. • Africa • Asia • Europe • Australasia • Latin America • Middle East • North America There are also other resources which King’s Careers & Employability subscribe to in order to support you. 4. Company Websites For large companies, such as Deloitte or Microsoft, look directly at their company websites. From their homepages, look for a link to ‘Careers’ or ‘Jobs’. Then, you’ll often see a link to ‘internships’ or ‘university students’. Typically, large, international companies, like H&M, L'Oreal, and Goldman Sachs, will have established internship programs in other countries. Competitive as they may be, they're a great place to start, though we'd recommend applying much earlier than you would for a smaller company. 5. Student Organisations King’s College London has hundreds of student organisations, many with a professional and/or regional focus. If you are trying to learn more about your field in a particular country, this is a great place to start. Build your international network without even leaving campus. 6. International Alumni King’s international alumni dot the globe with over 48,000 alumni from 180 countries around the world. If you are interested in learning more about working in a particular country or would like to enquire about a particular field or country, reach out to a fellow King’s alum. We have active alumni groups in many countries, including: • Europe • North America • South America & the Caribbean • Asia & Pacific • Middle East • Africa Additionally, many networks offer events and support for alumni in the area, which you may like to attend once abroad. Finally, LinkedIn is an excellent resource that enables you to connect with Kings alumni from across the globe. This social network also offers extensive options to filter your search.

7. Embassy Offices Most governments have embassies or consulates around the world which represent their national economic interests abroad and can be a great resource for students interested in interning in a particular country. You can find a list of British embassies, high commissions or consulates here, they advertise positions locally. Additionally, if you are an overseas student, your own country will have embassies and consulates around the world, often home to teams from a range of government departments including trade, development, and immigration which often recruit locally. 8. International Business Programme Lead by the London Major Sadiq Khan, the International Business Programme is a new programme of mentoring, expert advice and business opportunities for organisations hoping to expand their presence overseas. Pay attention to upcoming events taking place, many events will be hosted by international organisations, or organisations seeking to expand their presence overseas. 9. Department for International Trade The Department for International Trade's London International Trade Team supports small to medium (SMEs) in London to develop their international sales. They will be well positioned to provide advice on which businesses are hoping to expand, or more broadly advice on industry/regional trends which can help refine your search. 10. Interest Groups Take advantage of London’s diversity! London is home to many membership bodies which host industry events, provide insights & resources, and offers peer networking based on a shared professional interest. These organisations promote the business interests of their countries in the United Kingdom, but also remain connected to businesses in their home countries. Have a look at their membership lists. • Business Councils and Chambers of Commerce have International and UK based directory information. • Sector/ Special interest institutes, The Royal Societies or Professional Bodies in the UK.

Resources Just like any job hunt, knowing someone at a company or getting a personal introduction will always be one of the most effective ways of landing an internship, but it can be especially difficult if you're still a student and haven't built up your professional network yet. For that reason, job boards that post international internships can be helpful. A few that are worth looking at. The King’s Career Kit, this resource has sector specific information with links to the relevant job sites and membership bodies. Although a lot of these opportunities and resources are UK based, this will be a useful tool to discover what kinds of internships interest you.

Hear from your Fellow King’s Students Meet Olivia! Oliva completed an Internship at the Cape Town Refugee Centre in South Africa “Overall, I am so pleased that I decided to intern abroad. Whilst I might have learned a lot in a UKbased organization, immersing myself in a culture so far removed from that in the UK enriched my development through teaching me to be empathetic, work with highly vulnerable people, take initiative when others wouldn’t, and act like a leader when needed.” You can read more King’s student experiences while interning abroad on the King’s Internships Website. If you are interested in sharing your internship experience and achievements with the King’s community please contact the King’s Internship Team. Why not earn some formal recognition for your experience? The King’s Global Experience Award recognises your engagement with other cultures, including (but not limited to) volunteering, studying or working abroad; learning other languages; or engaging with other cultures within the UK.
Let’s think about the Logistics of going overseas What do you expect to be included financially? Costs of living will vary depending on the location your internship is based. Some things to consider when finding your own internship might be; will the employer provide accommodation support? Will they offer to reimburse you for travel? King’s Student Services Budgeting and Money Management webpages are useful resources to see how Kings can support you financially. The Budget planner and Forecaster in the ‘Income’ drop down are especially useful when planning for travel overseas.
