The University of Birmingham is engaging with organisations from a wide range of sectors to create internship opportunities for students and graduates. This programme provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, in a learning environment, developing their professional skills.
The opportunities available through this programme could be a combination of in-person, hybrid and fully remote internships, offering flexibility. Each internship role description that is advertised will outline levels of support and development opportunities as well as role expectations.
Internship lengths will vary between 10 days (70 hours) and 20 days (140 hours), and can be either on a full-time or part-time basis. Opportunities will be advertised during three cycles with some internships taking place in vacation periods and others throughout term time.
