The Crankstart Internship Programme provides additional funding, opportunities to take part in volunteering activities, and the opportunity to access internships during the winter, spring and summer vacations, through dedicated support from the Internship Office.
Holders of the Crankstart Scholarship are encouraged to gain work experience during their time at Oxford, and funding and support are available to help them do so. The Crankstart Internship Programme was established to enable the scholars to take advantage of this opportunity by undertaking internships or work shadowing placements with a variety of organisations offering internships exclusively to these students.
In the academic year of 2024-25 over 200 internships were advertised to Crankstart Scholars with employers such as Eden McCallum LLP, Glaucoma UK, Naylor Love, Ocean Generation, The Ditchley Foundation and Together We Learn.
Internships can take place in the winter and spring vacations (for up to 3 weeks) and the summer vacation (for 1 – 12 weeks).
The Crankstart Internship Programme offers both remote internships and in-person internships. These arrangements are considered carefully according to the circumstances surrounding each placement. For in-person internships, it is essential that interns regularly check the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office website, as well as local guidance to ensure the internship can be undertaken.
