Living in London

Mountbatten participants live in London, not as tourists, but as young professionals pursuing a postgraduate qualification. No other programme can provide such an experience; the Mountbatten Institute is unique.

We facilitate a carefully designed training programme that provides an opportunity to learn about British, European and International business practices and to experience immersion in British culture. We provide everything needed to succeed as a professional Londoner from the moment of arrival:

• Professional work placement
• Living expense allowance
• Accommodation
• Health coverage
• Visa assistance
• On-going personal guidance and support
• Special events, excursions and volunteer opportunities

Mountbatten participants enjoy the rich, vibrant culture and diversity that London has to offer. Theatre, music, sport, fashion, history, architecture - this financial capital offers something for every type of interest. There are more than enough ways to spend weekends, vacation days, and numerous national holidays throughout the year.
