Birkbeck internships involve a work assignment two full days a week or a minimum of 16 hours each week. Placements are available in a wide range of fields, but some of the most common internships are in arts management, business, media and communications and politics. Past interns have had placements at top U.S. companies, Parliament, British financial institutions, fashion designers, theatres and concert halls and prestigious media outlets.

A coordinator at Birkbeck arranges your placement, which is subject to a successful interview after your arrival in London. The internship replaces one of your courses at Birkbeck.

You will take a tutorial course and prepare a related academic research project that will be assessed by a Birkbeck faculty member. Your academic project carries most of the weight in determining your final grade.
