Multimedia Internship
Turn a brief into visual work with a clear story.
Develop ideas through design, photography and video. Help turn real projects and events into visual material, from a first storyboard or layout to an edited piece ready for review.
The opportunity
Learn how the work gets done.
A strong visual does a job: it explains an idea, records an event or helps an audience understand a story. This internship gives you a way to connect creative choices with that purpose. You may work across graphics, brand materials, shoots and editing alongside the people preparing the message.

- A few examples that show the kind of visual work you enjoy making.
- Willingness to discuss a brief, take feedback and revise a piece.
- Care with files, image selection, visual consistency and the audience's needs.

A few useful questions
Do I need to be equally experienced in design, photo and video?
Show the areas you are strongest in and the ones you would like to develop. The programme covers several formats; your work is matched with the team's needs and your current abilities.
Can I share student or personal work?
Yes. Choose examples you can discuss and have permission to share. Explain the brief, your own contribution and what the process taught you. A link or a short description can help explain work that is not in your CV.
