Careers & Placements
From study in the UK to real UK work experience.
For Chinese students and graduates studying in the UK, we offer internships through our UK employer network and practical, work-visa-aware career coaching.
What we offer
Internship programme
Internship opportunities arranged through our network of UK employers, with coordination and support throughout the placement.
Graduate career coaching
Hands-on help with CVs, interview preparation and the UK job search — grounded in how UK recruitment actually works.
Work-visa-aware guidance
Career support that takes UK work-visa realities into account, so plans are practical rather than aspirational.
We keep our claims modest and accurate. Outcomes depend on each student's circumstances, effort and the wider job market.
Meeting UK employers
We don't just place students — we also go and talk to the people who hire them. Since 2022, our team has visited and interviewed UK employers across immigration, law, accountancy, finance, SMEs and the creative sector, and brought that first-hand hiring insight back to our students.
