The University of Southampton

Internships and placements

The majority of our students take up paid summer internships during their degree studies, usually after years two and three. These offer great experience and also provide our students with better knowledge of the kinds of roles which are available to them as graduates. Summer internships last from six to 14 weeks. Our new MEng with Industrial Studies degree offers a 12-month placement with a company as part of the programme and a number of the Physics degrees also offer internships in industry as well as specialized research positions.
