Information for employers

The Student Internship Bureau (SIB) exists to create extra-curricular paid work experience opportunities for York students. We have two main schemes for our current students:

  • Summer vacation scheme
    Projects last between 6 and 12 weeks during the summer vacation (2nd July- 5th October 2012)
  • Part-time internship scheme
    This runs throughout the academic year, and can be of any duration, as long as the student doesn’t work for more than 16 hours per week whilst they are studying

Work must be of an appropriate standard and nature, must be project-based, with a tangible outcome for the host and intern.
