Manchester Metropolitan University

MMU students have access to a number of different internship programs, with many of these counting towards practice credits on their degree qualification transcript.

If you’re an MMU student, keep an eye on your university’s job boards and social media for any opportunities with us. Alternatively you can contact us directly - should your application be successful, we’ll look to match you up with the most suitable program for you.

MMU Xchange

Students from MMU Business School can join us for a 20 day project, and get a real hands-on experience in a project relevant to their degree or career aims. We typically suggest spreading this over a number of weeks. Depending on your schedule you can join us from 4 to 20 weeks, working anything between full time and 1 day a week.

The Xchange program is unpaid, but gives you the opportunity to use your knowledge and ideas to work with us across a number of different live projects. The program is available throughout the year so if you see an advert of ours and you’re interested in an internship, please get in touch.

Agency Life

MMU’s Agency Life program is available for 2nd year students, studying in the Department of Marketing, Operations and Digital Business at MMU Business School. As a Digital Marketing, Advertising & Brand, or PR student, you’ll join us 1 day a week over 2 terms between October and April.

We provide a number of projects for students to work on, and often have several students working as a team to meet briefs. You could join us individually to help with the general day-to-day work of an agency, or as part of a larger team to tackle our larger projects. This is a great way to gain experience of not only working in an agency, but meeting briefs and working with clients. And what’s more, it also counts towards your degree qualification!

GradMatch

Once you’ve graduated from MMU, you may be eligible to take part in the GradMatch scheme. These are short-term internships that allow graduates to gain priceless work experience in order to help you land a job by standing out from the competition.

The internship is 8 weeks of paid work that you will spend here with the team in the Manchester City Centre office. You’ll be involved in projects that you can apply your knowledge to, and will have the opportunity to work with real clients.

12 Month Sandwich Placements

MMU Business School offer 4 year sandwich degree courses, which include a 12 month internship within a commercial organisation. With a wide range of positions available, Nuttersons offer roles related to your degree in order to give you relevant and useful experience.

According to MMU, 89% of the Business School’s 2015 Sandwich Year Students graduated with a 2:1 or a first, so it’s a fantastic way to spend a year of your degree. Vacancies are advertised via the MMU Business School website, but we’d love to hear from you directly if you’re interested in a sandwich year placement.
