Digital Communications Intern

The role

We’re looking for a PhD (or similar postgraduate) student with a strong interest in digital communications, websites, or analytics. You’ll be someone who is curious, proactive, and able to work both independently and as part of a team. Strong analytical and communication skills are important, along with good organisation and attention to detail. An interest in how digital platforms can be used to engage audiences and improve user experience will be key to succeeding in the role.

This internship offers the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience working on live digital projects within a professional communications team. You’ll build your understanding of digital strategy, content development, and analytics, while developing transferable skills in research, communication, and collaboration. You’ll also benefit from mentorship and support, helping you apply your academic experience in a real-world setting.

This internship is externally funded via your academic programme and is unpaid by the College.
