Employment Opportunities after University in UK (Oxford to Queens College Belfast) vs. US (Bowdoin, etc.)

US Internships can be a challenge for UK based students.

Between 2nd & 3rd year, my son got an internship in the UK so schedule was OK. At that time, Tier 4 student visa allowed him to work in UK outside of term time.

Between 3rd & 4th year, he got a NY based internship. That was the start of COVID so exams were delayed and he was already home. Had exams in 9th & 10th week (on UK time) after internship had started. That was not a lot of fun, but at least made it feasible.
