London 2012 Olympics

In the summer of 2012, hundreds of thousands of people will come to London and the UK for the Olympic and Paralympic Games to enjoy the events and soak up the atmosphere.

The Olympic Games take place midway through the Summer Internship Program, with the opening ceremony taking place on Friday July 27, 2012 and the closing ceremony taking place on Sunday August 12, 2012.

Participants in the 2012 Summer Internship Program will be well placed to enjoy the events and soak up the atmosphere in the evenings and at weekends—internship placements will continue as normal during the games—as our inclusive accommodation is located in central London, less than 2 miles—just a 10 minute journey on the Tube—from the main Olympic stadium.
