Helping you get to where you want to be when you graduate
Whether you’re looking for insight days, internships, placements, or a full-time role, the competition is fierce. When it feels like everyone is chasing the same opportunities, standing out comes down to your values.
Your principles and purpose can set you apart, even when many other candidates have similar qualifications.
The SME Internship Scheme offers funding to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to help them take you on for a paid internship for at least 140 hours.
You can participate in the scheme by applying to our advertised opportunities on mycareer.
You can also approach organisations yourself to see if they would like to employ you by applying for the scheme.
When you’re approaching SMEs to ask for an internship opportunity, it might feel like you’re asking for something only you benefit from. However, it’s important to remember that an internship can be mutually beneficial, and SMEs in particular can reap big rewards from taking on a University of Bristol Intern!

I started as an intern on the SME Internship Scheme from January to April and then Neurometry extended my contract.
Neurometry is a start-up that is developing cognitive training tools for older adults. The company is based in London but mostly works remotely.
As sustainability is becoming increasingly important across the world, businesses are constantly evolving for the benefit of organisations and customers alike.
In January, four Bristol alumni joined the panel for the Bristol Connects Live: Sustainability in Business webinar.
Hosted by Jack Middleton, Sustainability Champion for the Business School, the panel shared their insights into how their employers are addressing business sustainability as well how sustainability is shaping the future of work and gave tips on getting into the sector.
