About IPUP Internships
IPUP internships are designed to offer York MA and PhD level students an opportunity to translate their research and writing skills into a form of public output. To this end IPUP has been building relationships with the media, museum and heritage sectors, both locally in York and further afield. Smaller internship programmes are usually unpaid, however the larger projects outside of York may include stipends.
IPUP interns have executed excellent heritage placements relating to researching objects and exhibition content for the National Trust, the National Portrait Gallery, York Museum Trust, Fairfax House and York Minster. A recent high profile project was the launch of the York Jewish History Trail, which was researched and devised by IPUP interns working with the City Archaeologist and York Museums Trust. See the resulting leaflet, script, youtube and podcast on IPUP's York Jewish History Trail webpage.
IPUP interns have also worked on a range of TV and film projects for the BBC, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, and the National Geographic.
Most of the heritage projects require a commitment of approximately 2 to 4 hours a week for approximately 6 months, whilst the full-time placements offered with media production companies require a minimum of a month-long commitment (a small stipend may be available for successful applicants on full-time placements).
