Upon booking the work experience week, it is important to note that it becomes non-refundable as it involves extensive planning, including arrangements for accommodation, room bookings, and other logistical preparations.

At our Economics Work Experience week, the safety of your child is our top priority. They will be under the constant care and supervision of the Study Mind Safeguarding team during any necessary travel.

Students will stay in residential halls at UCL (University College London). Students will stay from the day before the course starts (Sunday) and check out on the last day (Friday), totalling 5 nights. Students will stay in single occupancy rooms and will be able to take advantage of communal living rooms during the evening. The Study Mind team will be on hand 24/7 to assist students throughout their stay.

Students coming to the UK for the Work Experience will need a Standard Visitor visa- https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor

The Standard Visitor visa can only be applied for by parents/guardians and costs £100. They must apply through the UK Gov website only, You can name our course and Study Mind as the guardians of under 18s, and provide then the course information and booking confirmation when applying for the visa.

We recommend booking flights first before applying for the visa, as the visa needs proof of a return flight (the course end date might be enough, but might result in rejection).
