What are internships?

• What are internships?

Internships can be a great way for students to gain real-world experience and make connections in their field of study before they graduate. Internships can be full time or part time, paid or unpaid and can last from 3 weeks to 6 months depending on the company. Some companies offer work experience programs where you’ll be able to get valuable work experience while still being able to complete your studies at university. Most internships will require you to complete some kind of project that helps the company with their day-to-day activities such as research projects or data analysis tasks (for example).

Why do an internship?

• Internships are a great way to try out a career, whether you’re still deciding what you want to do or just want some experience.
• They can help you gain skills and build your CV.
• You can learn about different jobs by doing them for real.
• They will help you build your network of contacts and make new friends who could be useful in future job applications.

Summer internships in the UK – the ultimate guide

• Paid or unpaid

Unpaid internships are a contentious topic, with some companies offering the opportunity to work for free in exchange for experience. However, unpaid internships are illegal unless it can be proved that the employer would not have offered a job to the applicant if they were not working there as an intern. Therefore, if you are being asked to do something that looks like a job – i.e., research and development – then you should always insist on payment.

• Internships for everyone

Internships aren’t just for students; people of all ages can benefit from them as long as they are prepared to work hard and learn new skills. While many internships are based around university degrees or vocational training courses, it is also possible to get an internship through personal connections or simply by approaching companies directly.

Ask about what kind of work experience they’re looking for, how long their internships last, whether or not they have any specific requirements (like being fluent in another language).
