Internship to the UK

<p>Hello Guys,</p>

<p>Im new to this forum and I would really like some advice on Interning abroad.</p>

<p>Last year I interned in a cool creative agency in New York, and this year i really wanted to gain an internship experience in London... I love the city and have a few friends over there.</p>

<p>I applied via an internship provider ie. Dream Careers/Global experiences and gained a really great offer in a media agency but my visa was rejected 6 weeks ago. The internship was unpaid and apparently in the UK there is legislation preventing unpaid internships for international students..... I havent really had any help from my provider and instead got my money back.</p>

<p>I know that US students enter the UK on unpaid internships so i was wondering if anyone on here could shed some light as to how this is possible and how i could get around this for next year? Its a real shame as i had my heart set on London.</p>

<p>There must be some students who have been through Dream Careers or Global experiences and can tell me how their visa was passed or how the company arranged it.</p>

<p>Any advice or help would be much appreciated!!</p>

<p>Many Thanks,</p>
