PGR Opportunities Hub Internships
The PGR Opportunities Hub offers a range of internship opportunities to our postgraduate research students. These internships are paid, part-time opportunities hosted by academics and professional services staff across the College of Social Sciences.
The internships provide relevant workplace experience whilst supporting our students to develop a range of key transferable skills, in line with Domains B & D of the Researcher Development Framework.
Our internships are generally located within specific schools, however they are open to applications from any postgraduate research students from the College of Social Sciences.

Who is eligible to apply?
We endeavour to ensure that these internships are open to all postgraduate research students from across the College. All interns must be fully registered on a College of Social Sciences PGR programme. Students on suspension of study, leave of absence, or research furth are not eligible for any internship position. Any changes to student status must be reported immediately to the internship supervisor and Graduate School.
What about working permissions?
Our internship opportunities are typically provided on a part-time basis to ensure all students have adequate working permissions and can balance alongside their studies.
Students should only apply for an internship position if they have the relevant working permission in place for the duration of the internship project. Working permissions will be checked as part of the recruitment and selection process for the post. All interns must ensure they comply with their working permission limitations.
All work on internship projects must be carried out within the UK.
No intern should begin work on their project until they have been issued with a contract and have had their working permissions and ID checked by HR.
Are all internships paid?
The College of Social Sciences (and the University) only support paid internships. We have a range of paid internship opportunities available to our students, including the PGR Opportunities Hub opportunities listed above, the Sottish Graduate School for Social Sciences internships with the Scottish Government, and the ESRC internships.
What about unpaid internships?
We do not currently provide funding for unfunded internships. Students need to carefully read the conditions of an internship before applying.
Do I need to suspend studies to take on an internship?
Although students can apply for suspension of studies to take on full-time opportunities, subject to approval by the Dean of Graduate Studies, our internship opportunities are typically provided on a part-time basis to ensure all students have adequate working permissions and can balance alongside their studies.
