Graduate and undergraduate internships for East Midlands employers

At the University of Leicester, we pride ourselves on providing employers with high calibre students and graduates through our internship programmes. Our interns bring expertise in a range of areas including marketing, research, web design, engineering and much, much more.

The benefits to employers

  • Bursaries on offer to off-set the cost of recruiting a student or graduate.
  • No tax or national insurance as the internship is a training programme.
  • No payroll administration (we deal with that) saving you time and money.
  • We do the initial short-listing of suitable candidates, saving you time.

We offer two internship schemes:
