We share employers' own meaningful work opportunities to King's students and alumni and actively promote these under our 'Fast-track' provision, enabling students to determine 'pipeline' routes into graduate employment.
If you're a multinational corporation or organisation who provides insight days or weeks, structured summer internships, vacation schemes, pupillages - our Employer Relations & Development Advisers are keen to explore how we can work with you!
- Who's it best suited to? Any organisation with existing schemes looking to promote to King's students.
Through philanthropic funding, undergraduate students studying accounting, finance and management in King's Business School are encouraged to undertake fully-supported international internships in global cities such as New York City, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Brussels.
We will support employers with existing paid opportunities (that they are willing to ringfence) with advertising, shortlisting and equipping students with financing for visas, accommodation, flights and associated costs.

Under Development
Our programming for researchers at King's is currently being developed. We are unable to support employers keen to explore our Insights programming at this present time.
Our King's Parliamentary Research Interships (KPRI) programe is a unique opportunity as a result of a collaboration between King's Careers & Employability and the Policy Institute, whereby PhD students and Post-Doctoral researchers get matched with Peers at the House of Lords with a common research interest, placing them at the heart of policymaking.
This is a part-time opportunity, woking seven hours a week to support the Peers on a variety of projects including on legislation, policy support, media monitoring and various other research tasks. They interact with Parliamentarians, committees and other stakeholders.
Launching in 2021, the KPRI programme has run every academic year since. The recruitment for each KPRI cohort happens every summer.
KPRI interns benefit from a full on-boarding process, interactions with academics, policy leads, parliamentarians and King’s Careers & Employability during their internship.
The Work Based Learning Unit supports colleagues across King's College London and King's Health Partners to understand how to recruit from our own student population, either for regular undergraduate internships, or graduate ones.
We will deliver a workshop in the academic year of 2023-24 for King's colleagues, to explain the details of the support we can offer.
If you would like to be included in our mailing list (e.g., if you are planning on recruiting interns internally), please let us know by contacting Internships@kcl.ac.uk.
Our team have supported recruitment of many opportunities including Inclusive Careers Education Ambassadors, the King's 100 student panel and internships for King's Entrepreneurship Institute.
