Larger companies are more likely to offer internships to students, however these are renowned for being very competitive. This will look great on your CV and help you when it comes to your full-time career.

Universities often have a career service team. We encourage our students to book a meeting with them as they are there to help you build up your CV, help to create a Linkedln profile and give you guidance on the roles which may suit you best.
