Internships
Internships can transform your career journey by giving you practical skills and insight, valuable connections and the opportunity to make an impact.
We work with UofG colleagues and local businesses to offer internships across a range of industries and sectors throughout the year.
Our internships are usually project-based and involve work at a professional level. They help you develop professional skills and/or gain experience within competitive industries that can be difficult to access.
- On campus and local: Easy to access alongside your studies
- Flexible hours: Part-time during term or part-/full-time over summer
- Paid: Except voluntary roles with registered charities
- Exclusive to UofG: Not open to students at other universities
- Support: A team to help you throughout your internship journey
