An Internship scheme with LSE Careers

Year 2 BSc Language, Culture and Society students are eligible to receive funding on the LSE Language Centre Internship Fund Scheme.

This scheme provides funding for internships within a UK charity or small to medium sized enterprise (SME) each year. This enables students to receive funding for internships that would otherwise be unpaid and therefore might not be possible to undertake.

A Research Internship

All Language Centre Year 3 students are eligible to apply for a Research Internship.

The aim of the Research Internship is to produce a publication for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. The Language Centre Director will guide in terms of literature and methodology and submit the publication. The project detail will be designed depending on which BSc students want to take this opportunity. All expressions of interest will be reviewed by the Language Centre Director and information on how to apply will be circulated in the Spring Term each year.
