Grad Edition Discovery Internships now open for applications
LJMU is offering final year undergraduate students (level 6) the opportunity to apply for a paid 'Grad Edition’ Discovery Internship working with a local organisation in the Liverpool City Region on a real-life project.
The 140-hour internships are designed to be a springboard into graduate employment and have the potential to be extended or develop into a longer-term graduate role, although there is no guarantee of an extension.
You are paid a living wage for the internship, which will start in May after your final assessments.
Discovery Internships are advertised via Unitemps, LJMU's own recruitment agency. You must be registered with LJMU's Unitemps branch to apply. Eligible students can apply for a maximum of three internships.
Internship timeline
Please note that this timeline is subject to change:
- Applications open: Monday 23 February
- Application close: midnight on Sunday 15 March
- Interviews with host organisation: Before Friday 24 April
- Start date: from the week beginning Monday 11 May (this may vary depending on the role)
If you are successful in securing an internship, your working pattern will be agreed with the host organisation, but the 140 hours must be completed no later than Friday 10 July.
A small number of additional Discovery Internships will be available for both level 5 and 6 students and will be released on an ad hoc basis on the Unitemps job board, also from Monday 23 February.
