Internships

We support our students who wish to apply for competitive internships – these can form part of your LLM or be undertaken after your studies.  Our students have succeeded in securing prestigious internships in a range of international organisations, including the Council of the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights and the Hague Conference on Private International Law.  And for some, internships can lead directly to a full time paid role.

Pagoda Projects

LLM students can also apply for a global internship with our partners Pagoda Projects to develop employability skills and gain valuable international work experience.  A Pagoda internship, can be undertaken in a variety of locations globally, or done remotely.  Either way it lasts 8 weeks and takes the place of the LLM dissertation.  Students complete an internship report.
