Black Heritage Sponsored Internship

This is designed for students of Black heritage in the penultimate year of their undergraduate degree course. If successful, we will offer you an internship in line with our penultimate-year internship. In addition, you will receive funding of at least £5,000 towards living costs for one year at university. This programme is a targeted initiative designed to address the underrepresentation of people of Black heritage in our applicant pool and broaden access, particularly for students from minority ethnic and lower socio-economic backgrounds. This programme complements our wider internship offering, which is open to students from all backgrounds. 

Applications are closed, but you can register your interest for our 2027 opportunities.

This programme could be right for you if you are:
