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.
Wellcome’s Apprenticeship Programme is an opportunity to develop and gain practical skills, knowledge and behaviours through on-the-job learning. You will be supported to achieve a professional qualification and accreditation while earning a salary at the same time.
Our Apprenticeship Programme has been designed for school leavers, graduates and individuals looking for a career change.
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 open for applications
