What is the London Program?

The Mountbatten Program (formerly Mountbatten Institute) offers a career-defining program for young professionals looking to jump-start their career in a globally competitive business environment.

Trainees receive more in benefits than the cost of the Program, making a year in London great value for money, as well as great fun!

Living in London

Our Mountbatten Program Trainees often describe their 12 months in London as the 'best year' of their lives.

The Program provides rent-free accommodation for all our Trainees in central London and roommates from the Program. This shared accommodation is in easy reach of all that London has to offer and provides the opportunity for Trainees to make friends fast.

Outside of their internship and academic classes our Trainees like to explore the city and the rest of the UK and Europe, making the most of their #MountbattenLife. From museums to open air markets, trips to France, Amsterdam or Italy, they like to jam-pack their free time and create incredible memories.
