2027 intake
UK internships, checked against what each employer publishes
Summer internships, law vacation schemes and off-cycle internships for 2027, from employers’ own systems and from our own check of what each employer publishes. Vacation schemes sit here because for a law student they are the internship, and off-cycle sits here because it is the same job on a different calendar.

Questions penultimate-year students ask
When do UK internship applications open?
Most open between September and January for the following summer, and law vacation schemes often close earliest, several in December and January. Each programme below shows the employer’s own dates where they publish them.
What is an off-cycle internship?
A three to six month paid internship that runs outside the summer round, usually starting in January, March or September, almost always in banking or advisory. It is the route in for someone who missed the summer cycle, for a master’s student whose year does not line up, and for a career changer. Banks rarely advertise them as a named programme, which is why they are hard to find and why we list the ones that are published.
Do internships offer visa sponsorship?
Rarely, and most employers do not say either way. Of the programmes we checked by hand, only one stated outright that it sponsors vacation scheme applicants. Most address sponsorship only at graduate or training contract stage, which is worth knowing before you spend an evening on the form.
What year of study do I need to be in?
Summer internships are usually for penultimate-year students. If you are in your first year, spring weeks are the equivalent, and they have their own page.
