Internship testimonies

"One of the highlights of my time at the university, and a unique learning experience as I delved into qualitative research and worked alongside my peers under the guidance of our incredible mentor. The working environment was ideal for me, as I was able to juggle my academic work and my commitment to this project. For anyone looking to make a difference for future generations at the university, this is the place".

- Andrada

"I'm a third year student but have never been exposed to much of the college outside of Medicine. I’m so glad I got to be a part of the team, sharing experiences with students from other schools and working on ways we could make our time at King's even better".

- Elizabeth

"An incredible experience, exposing you to how the university functions as a whole and offering a real sense of perspective across departments and schools."

- Matthew

"I would like to emphasise the great leadership provided to us by our supervisor - we were given a lot of independence and autonomy in our project, but also supported by pointing us in the right direction at times and never failed to make herself available and helpful."
