Creative Business Internships – How to apply

Creative Business Internships offers short paid internships to current UAL students, placing them with small creative businesses during September - October 2024.

These internships are a great way to gain professional experience you can include on your CV, explore career options, build your network and gain insights into what is involved in working for yourself and setting up a creative enterprise.

Come along to this session to find out more about the programme, eligibility to apply, the application process and where you can find support on applying.

Applications for the Autumn 2024 programme will open end of May/ early June 2024.
