Internship Guide
Finding a job as a university student or recent graduate can be challenging, especially when most employers look for experience. But to gain experience, you first need an opportunity and that’s why internships are a fantastic way to bridge the gap.
💼 What is an Internship?
An internship is a period of professional work experience, usually lasting from a few weeks to a year. The duration often depends on the sector and employer, with student internships usually being shorter than graduate internships.
For students who may not be able to do a placement year, internships can be a great alternative.

As a graduate, I was seeking an internship in order to expand my knowledge of the practice of Law. My internship was incredibly interesting and thoroughly enjoyed my time, as I gained an understanding of the legal function of a large London local authority.
I felt that my confidence had improved and that this internship has equipped me with the skills I need for further graduate employment.
