Liverpool Interns is a standout initiative from the University of Liverpool that is designed to drive innovation and growth across the Liverpool City Region. Through the programme, the University of Liverpool will connect local businesses with talented students to foster project-based knowledge exchange.
- 80-hour funded internship projects, supported through a £1,054 bursary, with no requirement for companies to contribute towards this amount. The bursary is paid via reimbursement to the organisation offering the internship project.

- Build a talent pipeline
- Support throughout from the Employer Connections Team
Benefits to the Students:
- Enhanced employability skills
- Real-world experience of organisational cultures and workplace environments
- An understanding of professional behaviours
Ultimately, Liverpool Interns is the crucial starting point in increasing graduate retention for the benefit of our region and aims to foster long-term mutually beneficial relationships between higher education and industry in the region.
The University of Liverpool is now looking for new projects to launch in November 2026.
