Internships

Taking part in internships can help you stand out to potential employers. It gives you a great opportunity to test out a possible career you have in mind before you graduate. You’ll be able to make new business contacts and learn valuable skills that you can talk about at interviews.

During my time at Stirling, I was given the privilege of an internship with Barclays in Geneva, Switzerland, thanks to the Saltire Scholar Internship Programme. This allowed me to demonstrate and put to use all of the leadership skills I had acquired.
