Summer Internships

Find out about internship opportunities to develop your skills.

 

Internships

Internships are periods of structured work experience. They will help you to develop knowledge and skills which will play a part in the decisions you go on to make about career choice. Typically you will:

  • Be offered training and may be assigned to a mentor or buddy
  • Work on a specific area of work, or be assigned to a project
  • Work for between 6-12 weeks
  • Be encouraged to reflect and record your experience

Internships offer benefits in terms of confidence, skills and experience that will enhance any future postgraduate or job applications.
