Summer internship programme
Our eight-week internships for undergraduates take place at the Wellcome offices in London every summer. They are designed to inspire, encourage and support a new generation who will go on to make a difference.
Apprenticeship programme
Apprenticeships are a great opportunity to take your first step into work and enable you to learn while you earn.
We are excited to be launching our new Apprenticeship Programme for 2022. This is an opportunity for school leavers, and sometimes graduates for higher level apprenticeships, that wish to gain an accredited qualification while also gaining valuable on-the-job experience.
Apprenticeships are typically 15 to 18-months but can be up to 24-months depending on the level of the qualification undertaken. These range from tech and data to business and management related programmes, and we can also sometimes offer more specific apprenticeships.
Apprenticeship programme 2022 now closed for applications
