Internships and work experience

Most large graduate recruiters offer summer internships to undergraduates, usually to students in their penultimate year. Closing dates for applications tend to be very early in the academic year, so it's vital to apply early. 

University of Exeter students and graduates can search for internships in our online system My Career Zone. Details of the internship schemes we manage are listed below, but there are many internships listed on My Career Zone that don't fall under these schemes. View a feed of these latest vacancies.

Graduates of other UK Universities can receive details of internship opportunities by registering for our internship vacancy e-bulletin.
