Creative internship enquiries

Bring your work. And your questions.

An internship is a chance to understand a working brief, a deadline and a review process. Find out what the opportunity involves before committing your time.

Prepare an application someone can understand.

For graphic design, video editing or AI-related work, choose a few relevant examples and explain your part. A short, working portfolio link is kinder than a mystery folder containing 86 unnamed files.

  1. Introduce your direction.State the skill you are developing, your current experience, availability and what you want to practise.
  2. Show the brief and your contribution.For each example, explain the audience, your decisions and one revision. Label self-initiated practice clearly.
  3. Check the opportunity.Ask about selection, supervision, hours, deadlines, location or remote arrangements and payment or costs.
  4. Agree on the work and its use.Get the scope and documentation conditions in writing. Confirm whether the work may appear in your portfolio.

Course enrolment does not automatically mean internship selection. Ask the team what is currently available and what applicants need to demonstrate.

Ask about current opportunities

Prepare a first portfolio

Before you accept

What is the work behind the title?

  • What will I make, and how are applicants selected?
  • Who reviews my work, and how often?
  • What hours, deadlines and attendance are expected?
  • Is there a stipend, a fee or another cost?
  • Who supplies the required software and assets?
  • Can I publish the work in a portfolio?
  • Who issues any certificate, and what must I complete?
  • What happens if the scope or my availability changes?
Is an internship guaranteed?

Availability and selection are not guaranteed. Request the current opportunity details and criteria before making plans.

Will I receive a stipend or work remotely?

These depend on the opportunity. Confirm payment, any costs, hours and working format in the written terms.

Can a beginner apply?

Ask what level the opportunity requires. A few clearly explained practice projects can help show your current skills, but the selection decision depends on the actual role.

Is a certificate the same as a placement?

No. Ask what work and completion criteria a certificate records. Neither a certificate nor an internship guarantees employment or freelance income.
