Our internship program includes safe and secure housing in the cost of the program fee. API interns in London will reside in a double shared bedroom in a furnished apartment.

Internship participants should expect the accommodation to be centrally located and easily accessible to public transportation. Each participant’s commute will vary, as internship placements are located in different areas in each location. You should expect your commute to your internship to be at least an hour since London in a world capital city. Housing placements may be mixed gender (by apartment, not by bedroom). Participants will receive their confirmed housing assignment approximately three weeks prior to departure.
