Bath Insights connects talented University of Bath undergraduates with meaningful projects across faculties, departments and professional services. Over eight weeks, interns work on projects that address real University priorities while developing valuable professional experience.

For departments, Bath Insights provides dedicated project capacity, fresh thinking and tangible outputs on projects that are important but often difficult to prioritise alongside day-to-day responsibilities, and that continue to deliver value long after the internship ends.

Interns have supported projects involving:

• data analysis and insight generation
• student experience
• accessibility and inclusion
• service improvement
• research and benchmarking
• digital innovation
• communications and engagement

Whether you're exploring a new idea, improving an existing service, or tackling a project backlog, a Bath Insights intern can help turn plans into action.

Recent projects have delivered:

• interactive dashboards
• accessibility improvements
• research reports
• digital resources
• communications campaigns
• governance toolkits
• SharePoint sites
• evidence-based recommendations

In 2026, one project analysed 466 Moodle pages and resolved more than 10,000 accessibility issues, while others developed new digital learning resources and presented recommendations directly to senior stakeholders.

We manage:

• the job description
• recruitment and selection, including organising and holding assessment centres (If you would like to, you can participate in the Assessment Centres where we will meet candidates and match them to internship opportunities)
• onboarding and administration
• induction
• social programme
• pastoral support
• programme coordination
• evaluation and reporting

You provide the project and day-to-day guidance. We'll support the rest.

The strongest Bath Insights projects are:

• meaningful and purposeful
• linked to departmental priorities
• deliverable within eight weeks
• focused on a tangible outcome
• designed to give students ownership and autonomy

The programme is not intended to absorb existing ad hoc and temporary employment opportunities, and instead is designed to bring valuable student insight to meaningful projects.
