Crankstart Career Development Programme

Open to University of Oxford Crankstart Scholars, the Crankstart Career Development Programme supports scholars to develop their career ideas proactively and with confidence, regardless of where they are in their career journey.

Funding

Crankstart Scholars at the University of Oxford can apply for funding to support your internship. This can be for an internship that is advertised through the Crankstart Internship Programme, The Summer Internship Programme, the Micro-Internship Programme or for one which you secure yourself. Internships include both research and professional experiences and should provide training and support to aid your career development. Internships should offer an opportunity to work on a graduate-level, structured project or a defined set of tasks.

If you are applying for a Crankstart Internship Bursary please read the information on Funding on the About the Crankstart Internship Programme page carefully and complete the Crankstart Internship Bursary form.
