Paid work internships for Q-Step students
As part of your degree, we offer you the opportunity to apply for a limited number of paid internships. Internships can last up to 8 weeks in an external organisation and will take place over the summer between your second and third year. They will enable you to utilise quantitative skills and methods in a real-world working environment.
Whilst on your Q-Step internship, you will receive a bursary equivalent of £300 per week (full-time). Payments will be made in two instalments with the first payment being made prior to, or at the start of your internship.
Nervous about applying for internships? The Careers Services team will help you with the application process. Visit the Career Services team and discover how they can help with your Q-Step application. You can also email them at careersinfo@essex.ac.uk.
Previously successful Essex Q-Step graduates have undertaken internships at Colchester Borough Council, Sage Publications, World Land Trust, YouGov, Profusion and Essex Community Rehabilitation Company. For more information on internships, please email internships@essex.ac.uk.
