Industrial placement (12 months)

Our 12 month internships are ideal for someone looking to complete a placement year as part of their degree. They are designed to lay solid foundations for a successful career, through a tailored development programme; giving you the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in one of our exciting business areas.

Summer placement (3 months)

Our 3 month summer internships are designed to give you an introduction to the world of a global company. You'll experience life in either Engineering, Business or IT and have the opportunity to build your professional network, ready for when you graduate.

Brave enough to re-imagine the world around you?

People choose different careers for very different reasons. For some, it’s money. Others, it’s doing work that will change the world. Then, there are those who just want somewhere to fit in. You know what we think? Any career worth your time should offer all this and more.

Training and development

Advanced skills and real-world experiences

We put our interns to good use. Here, we'll challenge you with new ways of thinking and set you targets that will make a genuine impact on the business. So, if you join us on one of our 12 month internships, you'll follow our structured Internship Development Programme (IDP) that will capture your imagination, unleash your potential and lay the foundation for a meaningful career. We've carefully designed two events and three modules to maximise your potential at your current stage in life. How did we develop them? We asked undergraduates what tools would be most valuable, and combined them with the skills companies like us are looking for.

Testimonials

What do our Graduates say about us?

“Being an intern at Siemens is a fantastic journey. I’ve grown and had the chance to manage my own projects. One of these was developing a web application to aggregate key security data, extracting relevant information and displaying it professionally. For me, that’s an amazing way to mark the start of my career and a time of great personal development.”
Andy Butnaru, Intern of the Year 2019
