Our intern programme is open to applications throughout the year. However, we will not be considering applications for the summer period until after Easter (the beginning of April). We are usually extremely oversubscribed during all student holiday periods, and so if you are able to be available at any other period, you will have a much stronger chance of success. Applications should be sent, via email, to angi.driver@npi.org.uk
The programme is aimed at recent graduates, graduate students and undergraduates in their final year. Internships usually last for four to six weeks. The positions are voluntary, though expenses are reimbursed. Besides a strong academic background, applicants need to share our interests and must be able to explain why an internship at NPI is what they want, rather than just any old internship.
As an equal opportunities employer, all NPI positions are open to all, regardless of race, sex, disability, sexuality, age or religious belief.
