Public Policy|Southampton in partnership with Excel Southampton Internship Programme offers 12 week term-time paid internship opportunities to University of Southampton students. Our interns work closely with the Public Policy|Southampton Operational Team to connect relevant stakeholders with university researchers to promote their research and attempt to influence public policy on a local, national and an international level. Interns will manage various projects, organizing and running a diverse range of events during their time with the team.
Working for Public Policy|Southampton was a unique opportunity to get a better understanding of the stakeholders involved in various projects. I got to work with a fantastic, driven team which personally benefited me as a student.
Our internship provides students with skills that will benefit them both academically and in future employment. Our interns will learn how to approach policymakers, coordinate events, effectively manage a varying workload, and administer a wide range of taks in a small, dynamic environment.
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in a career in engaging policymakers. The team is very dedicated and willing to support interns every step of the way!
