A Year in New York
Transform your life and career by living, working and studying in New York City
What is the New York Program?
The Mountbatten Program offers a career-defining program for young professionals looking to jump-start their career in a globally competitive business environment.
We welcome successful applicants to New York City every March and August and provide them with an internship in a leading organization and an opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of New York City.

New York is one of the most exciting and fast-paced cities in the world and we want to make sure that you have the time of your life whilst gaining invaluable professional development. Our hassle-free approach means we take care of the key elements during your year in an international city, including:

- Coordination of your visa
- 12-month's rent-free accommodation and utilities
- MA in Entrepreneurial Management (optional)
- USD $1,275 monthly living allowance, subject to taxes

Trainees receive more in benefits, including their living allowance and accommodation, than the cost of the Program, making a year in New York City great value for money, as well as great fun!
Living in New York City
Our Mountbatten Program Trainees often describe their 12 months in New York as the 'best year' of their lives.
The Program provides rent-free accommodation for all our Trainees along with roommates from the Program. This shared accommodation is in easy reach of the city and provides the opportunity for Trainees to make friends fast.
