Internships

The RSA has an internship programme which provides successful candidates with the opportunity to experience a unique organisation dedicated to civic innovation and social progress.

Our work combines cutting-edge thinking and research, practical action and the talents of our network of 27, 000 Fellows. Our interns have the chance to explore our distinctive interdisciplinary approach to social change in one of our teams across Projects, External Affairs and Fellowship.

Please note that all RSA internships are undertaken on a voluntary basis, and as such are unpaid.

Interns will have receipted travel expenses reimbursed by the RSA for journeys of up to one and a half hours to John Adam Street, and the cost of a meal where you offer your services for more than 6 hours (up to £5), again on production of a supporting receipt. 
 

Who can apply

The RSA welcomes new perspectives on its work and our interns will come from many different backgrounds and disciplines - from recent graduates to those wanting a sabbatical. We’re looking for hard-working, open-minded and collaborative people who want to change the world.

We will usually advertise specific opportunities in our teams as they arise here on the Internships page and via a network of partner organisations.

 

When and Where

The internship programme is ongoing. Internships usually last no less than two months and no more than three. The start, and anticipated duration of internships will be advertised with each opportunity, along with details of how to apply.

The majority of our interns will be based with us at our headquarters in John Adam Street, London. However, we do have a team of outreach workers in Manchester, Bristol and Edinburgh and it is worth approaching us if you are unable to relocate to London.
