Learn more about the potential benefits to your business of offering internships to University of Exeter students and graduates.

"I can highly recommend working with Exeter University Interns - we have used a number across our businesses in the past few months. They bring a fresh and inquiring approach to their work - along with skills that we could immediately use within our businesses. We found the interns to be flexible but very professional. It was a pleasure to use them within our businesses, and most enjoyable getting to know the personalities as well. We hope that the interns learned something valuable during their time with us - to stand them in good stead for the work of work ahead - I can not recommend the scheme highly enough."
