Interns
We offer paid summer internships to University of Nottingham law students to work on our diverse projects.
Internships typically run for four to eight weeks and provide valuable experience of human rights work in practice. Students who are interested in a human rights career can gain a deeper understanding of a particular human rights field, as well as improve their related transferable skills such as research and analysis.
Information about paid summer internship opportunities for summer 2024 will be made available in due course.
For full details, please see the Summer Internships page.

Talent Builder Internship Programme
Between September 2009 and November 2010, HRLC participated in the Talent Builder Internship Programme, organised by the University of Nottingham's Centre for Career Development. The scheme was created to ensure that Nottingham graduates continue to develop skills needed to meet increasing demands from employers by providing practical experience working within the University, third sector organisations or small and medium businesses.
HRLC welcomed six recent graduates from different academic backgrounds who worked on a number of HRLC projects.
