Internships
The creative industries may be competitive but we can help you get your foot in the door with internships, placements and work experience.
Peter Rice Awards
We’re the only UK university to take part in Hollywood internships. You could spend ten weeks on the Disney lot in Los Angeles involved in things such as:
- First-reading of incoming film and television scripts
- Collecting audience data and preparing evaluation reports
- Filming interviews with Hollywood veterans for the archive
- Training, masterclasses, professional lectures and panels
- Working front of house at special screenings and industry events
The internships are supported through the generous Peter Rice Award. Peter is former Chair Disney General Entertainment Content and a Nottingham graduate.
The awards are competitive and open exclusively to our students.
Other internships and placements
As a centre for creative activity we often have opportunities presented to us. Recent internships and placements we’ve promoted include:
