Internship Opportunities

MEC Internship Initiative (part of the MEC Gateway Programme)

Through our new MEC Internship Initiative we aim to offer a set of internships and work placements specifically for MEC students. The pilot (with ten internships) is planned for Summer 2012. Internships and work placements enable undergraduates:

  • to explore job sectors at first hand
  • to showcase their own skills and aptitude
  • to develop the professionalism of their approach
  • to expand their career networks

Careers Workshops in the Academic Development Programme help students to prepare and Gateway Challenges Funding can be used towards accommodation expenses etc.

More information will follow during late 2011/early 2012

Longstanding MEC internships

We also have a list of internships open to MEC students which have been active for several years and will still be available (although not directly part of the Internship Initiative).

Mainstream Internships

The University Careers Service has details of various internship opportunities with some of the large mainstream companies.
