UKRI Policy Internships scheme

The UKRI Policy Internships scheme offers UKRI‑funded doctoral students the opportunity to undertake a three‑month placement with influential policy organisations. The scheme is designed to build practical experience of translating research into policy and to develop transferable skills for a range of future career paths.

• Award:Funded placement (doctoral students normally continue to receive their existing doctoral stipend or funding during the internship).
• Duration:3 months (full‑time internship). Focus: Policy training and experience on a topic agreed between the intern and the host organisation.
• Practical considerations:
  • Open only to doctoral students funded by UKRI Research Councils (AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, EPSRC, MRC, NERC or STFC).
  • During the internship, students are expected to contribute to policy activity, such as producing a briefing paper, participating in a policy inquiry, or organising a policy event.
  • Students should contact their training grant administrator to confirm eligibility.
• Application deadline:8 September, 4:00pm (forecast)
