Internships
The Student Opportunities Hub provides a range of internships throughout the year, all of which are exclusive to UofG students.
These internships can either be part-time during the academic year, or part-time/full-time over the summer. Each internship advertised has been facilitated through meetings with the host organisation and the Student Opportunities team, to give UofG students a fantastic, real-work experience.
Internships can be both on-campus, working for a UofG School/College/Department, or with a local external organisation. All internships are paid, unless with a registered charity where in some instances, they may be voluntary.
The Student Opportunities Hub works with businesses in a range of different industries and sectors, to help provide a diverse range of opportunities to appeal to our wide student population. Some of these are one-off opportunities based on a business' needs or recruitment strategy, whilst others are part of long-term, ongoing partnerships.

What is an internship?
An internship is a fixed term, structured period of work experience with a focus on skills development and enabling students to investigate a particular role or industry.
- It is either project based or involves undertaking “real work” at a professional level
- It should develop professional skills not already possessed or provide experience within competitive industries that can be difficult to access
