“The internship experience at TS Lombard was a good opportunity to become familiar with an office environment while working on tasks that were meaningful. I enjoyed being able to contribute in useful ways to the organisation and applying some of my technical knowledge as a mathematics student. My mentor and other people I worked with were incredibly supportive and cared about helping me develop my skills and knowledge over the course of the internship. The several speaker sessions by accomplished people from different backgrounds were also very valuable, especially since the speakers engaged personally with the interns.” Maths student, 2025 TS Lombard intern
“The Danson Internship was a really great experience. I was able to work on a range of different projects depending on my interests and was supported to follow my interests. Everyone was really kind and doing the internship made me feel more confident about starting work in the future.” History & German student, 2023 & 2024 GlobalData intern
“I loved my time on the Danson internship! It was great knowing that the work we were doing was worthwhile, working towards projects with the potential to make a difference in the industry. The interconnectedness of the company provided many shadowing opportunities, which were useful in learning about different career pathways. Additionally, the mentors and guest speakers provided valuable insights into office working life and the variety of skills needed to succeed in the corporate workplace. Beyond the work, I had a fun month in London with some of my closest friends from Anne’s and enjoyed meeting so many new people.” Biomedical Sciences student, 2023 GlobalData Pharma Themes intern.
