No published policyUK Internship Programme

Unconfirmed. Disney publishes no sponsorship policy for its uk internship programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The 12 month internship starts summer 2027, based on-site four days a week at Disney's Hammersmith office in London, paying £28,000 a year. It is open to undergraduates at a UK or Ireland university returning to full-time education in autumn 2028, including international students on a UK or Ireland degree course with a placement year, but the page requires the right to work in the UK and is silent on sponsorship. Applications for Commercial and ESPN roles stay open one week, Creative roles two weeks, from 13 October 2026.

The catch: International students on a UK/Ireland placement-year degree can apply, but the right-to-work line gives no route for a candidate who would need sponsorship to take up the role.
