Best companies to do internship in the UK

In addition, Hiscox also offers two graduate programs focused on the Business area. Both last 27 months, that is, just over two years.
5. Sky Betting & Gaming
Sky operates in a slightly different field for our reality here in Brazil: it is a company specialized in betting. Originally from Canada , the company today is headquartered in the United Kingdom and is classified by employees as a place of innovation, where it is possible to achieve goals that would not be possible to be achieved in other areas. There, they offer a postgraduate course in the Tech Academy program, which can lead to a master’s degree in Digital and Technological Solutions, accredited by Sheeld Hallam University.
4. Bromford
