The application and selection process

Last updated - 12th May 2010

We welcome interns from a range of disciplines. We look for demonstrated team working skills, innovation and creativity, flexibility in working with people at varying levels and pace and strong motivation. Some of our placements look for people who have an economics degree or are currently studying economics (or a joint degree where 50% of their course modules are in economics) or their degree contains some statistical content.

The internship programmes are open to students in their penultimate or final year at university.
