The Micro-Internship Programme: Sector List

Micro-Internships are 2-5-day voluntary learning and development opportunities. Each internship gives you the opportunity to observe and assist with a project. Some of the ways a Micro-Internship can help are:

• Develop your employability skills
• Add to your CV
• Gain experience in a specific sector
• Offer you the opportunity to network with a range of employers.

The Micro-Internship programme is open exclusively to current matriculated Undergraduate and Postgraduate students at Oxford University including those in their final year of study and suspended students. Please note that the programme is not open to visiting students, MBA and EMBA students (Saïd Business School). MBA and EMBA are encouraged to access opportunities through the Said Business School Career Development Centre. 

The Micro-Internship Programme

Applications for spring micro-internships are now open and close on the 2nd February 2026.

Q: I have not heard back regarding my application in the first round. What do I do?

If you submitted an application during the first round, we will update your on this application in due course. If you have received an offer this will come to you via the micro-internships@careers.ox.ac.uk email address. If you are unsuccessful you will receive an email via careerconnect. 

Q. Will there be a second round of Micro-Internships?

We sometimes run a second round of Micro-Internships. This is smaller and shorter than the first round and you can only apply if you haven't applied in the first round or were unsuccessful in the first round. If we are running the 2nd round the details of the application window dates will be posted on this page.
