Internships

Student Campus Partnerships

As one of Europe's fastest growing companies, the University of Exeter has the potential to offer paid employment internships to you across each of its campuses.

From short-term business & administrative support through to long-term project management, the Student Campus Partnership scheme can provide you with valuable work experience essential for your personal career development. 

Internships can be available throughout the year and range from a minimum of 7 to 15 hours per week during term time and a minimum of 7 up to 36.5 hours per week during vacations.

To be eligible you must be a current University of Exeter student and have the right to work in the UK.

Support during placements

The University will prepare and support successfully placed students throughout their internships. The SCP training and Personal Development manual (.pdf) will guide you through the SCP process, how to apply and how to get the most from your internship.

I feel as though I am doing something worthwhile and, as I am hoping to go into an academic career one day, working for the University has been a brilliant experience. Read more.
