Internships

Student Business Partnerships (SBPs)

Each year the University of Exeter assists the recruitment of ambitious students into off-campus employment. SBPs provide you with valuable paid work experience, that uses your under/graduate level skills, knowledge and experience. These internships offer a great opportunity to develop your career.

The internships are available throughout the year. They are part-time during term-time and up to full-time hours during the Easter, Summer and Christmas vacation periods.

There is a wide range of employers, from large organisations such as Councils, the NHS and utility companies, to small and medium sized companies.

The types of internship vary, but usually cover a wide selection of roles, such as Marketing, IT, Web Development, PR, Technical or Environmental Issues, Engineering, Market Research, Business Planning, Accounts.

Eligibility

You must be a current University of Exeter student when you apply and have a student status for the duration of the internship. An undergraduate student  status will expire one month after the end of their course. For Post graduate students this is slightly longer, at 6 weeks after the end of their course. If the graduation ceremony occurs before these dates the student will automatically assume a graduate status.

You must have right to work in the UK and provide your visa status and explanation on your application form. When you are called to interview you will be asked to bring evidence of your right to work status.

To work in the UK you will need a National Insurance number. For more information on how to obtain one please go to: www.exeter.ac.uk/careers/parttimejobs/international/
