Internships for Queen Mary students and recent graduates.
Students on Queen Mary Internships are able to develop skills for their CV through practical work-based placements and gain insight into industry. Specific skills developed will depend on the internship.
An internship is great for those looking to acquire experience, allowing you to develop sought after skills and experiences. If you are exploring your career options, a paid full or part time internship can also allow you to test out or investigate a particular career area. You might also find an internship useful if you are looking to show you skills and experience, as you will get more insight into an employer’s perspective, which can help you to make more effective job applications in the future.
