University welcomes this year’s summer interns
More than 70 Employ.ed on Campus student interns attended a welcome event at the Outreach Centre in Holyrood on 3 June 2024.
Lucy Evans, Deputy Secretary Students, welcomed the student interns, as they officially joined the University as staff members.
The interns then heard from the Internships and Work Experience Team at the Careers Service and previous years’ interns to get advice on how to make the most of their internship. They also had the chance to meet and connect with other interns to grow their network.

The University is one of the biggest employers in the City of Edinburgh and proud to be able to offer high quality paid internships across all areas of the University’s work from festivals to marketing, and research to project management.
