CoAH International Internships Programme

The College of Arts International Internship programme is open to current University of Glasgow Honours and Postgraduate students.

We especially encourage students with backgrounds in Art History, Museum or Conservation Studies, Information Studies, Archaeology, Creative Industries and Cultural Policy to apply, but welcome interest from anyone within the College.

If you're not sure if your background would be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out to the CoAH International team for more information.

Internship projects at host organisations are usually tailor-made depending on the needs of the organisation, as well as the student's interests and course requirements. For example, interns may focus on curatorial training and project-related research, education, outreach, or digital applications.

This is a great opportunity for students to experience working with cultural institutions abroad and apply knowledge gained at UofG, to widen their personal and professional horizons, to develop professional experience, and to engage in CV building activities.

Internships are between 4-8 weeks depending on which partner institution you are interested in and are non-credit bearing. More details are available in the Application Forms below.

Eligibility Criteria

Please note that International Internships are only available to current University of Glasgow Honours and Postgraduate students in the College of Arts & Humanities. You will not be able to take up this internship after you have completed your degree at Glasgow.
