UKRN Summer 2026 Internship: applications are open!

Neon Sign with words "this must be the place"

We are delighted to be running the fourth year of our successful summer internship programme, for two individuals to experience first-hand what it’s like to work on regulatory policy.

We are looking for people who are eager to learn and serious about building a career at the heart of the UK economy. You will also need to know what we do, share our purpose, and be genuinely motivated to join UKRN.

  • You will learn about our role in the UK’s economy and the role our member regulators play in it, whilst gaining valuable ‘on-the-job’ skills. You’ll join our team and support UKRN in its various areas of work. For examples of the type of work that our interns were responsible for last summer, please see this newsletter
  • You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more by attending talks and networking events, including at our member regulators.
  • The roles are open to either undergraduate or postgraduate students, and will be a paid position.

The closing date for applications is Friday 30th January 2026, however we reserve the right to close this early, if we reach a significant number of applications. We would therefore encourage those who are interested, to apply as soon as possible.
