Essex Interns
Essex Interns are exclusive paid internships for current students with university departments and local employers.
Essex Interns now includes all internships previously known as Frontrunners.
Applications are open now, until Friday 8 November via GradIntelligence.
How does it work?
As an intern, you would work one day a week in Spring term, starting in January 2025 and completing in March. It’s a professional development opportunity, which means you’ll get training and continuous support – and so to be offered a role you’ll need to show your commitment to your own development.
This year, there are 68 different internships on offer with over 100 vacancies. To help you explore your options, each internship has a level and a category. The category is the focus area or sector of the internship. This year we have: Comms, Events, Data, Lab, Marketing, Operational and Tech interns on offer.
There are two levels:
- Start Out internships are supportive internships with University of Essex departments and teams. Each is designed for students with little or no work experience to help you prepare for the world of work after you graduate. You’ll be paid £12 an hour for these roles.
- Stand Out internships are with University of Essex teams or local employers, and each is an opportunity to show your potential, and your existing knowledge and skills, in a graduate-level environment. You’ll be paid £12.09 an hour for these roles.
To apply you need to:
- Be a current student until the end of the internship (so still on your course in April 2025).
- Be able to attend an in-person interview between 18 – 29 November 2024, if you are shortlisted.
- Complete a legal Right to Work check, if you are offered an internship.
If you have existing experience in graduate level roles, for example in something connected to your degree, this might not be the right programme for you. Come chat to us to find your next step.
