Testimonials - Hear it from the interns!“The SDIP programme was hugely beneficial to me; not only did I get invaluable insight into the world of work, I also gained knowledge of the inner workings of government. Not only was it educational, but the programme gave me confidence in my own abilities and confirmed my desire to apply for the fast stream.”

“I was delighted to have a Fast Streamer from the Department of Energy and Climate Change as my mentor.

Through shadowing her work on multi-national renewable energy co-operation and attending international telephone

meetings, I discovered the links between energy and my major subject international relations.”

KUAN LONG LAM - Early Diversity Intern

““


Testimonials - Hear it from the interns!“I enjoyed my time shadowing a Fast Streamer in the Communications Stream at the Ministry of Defence, and it was rewarding to see that my opinions and contributions during this internship were valued. I was asked for my input and ideas on projects to do with advertising, and with the department’s media platforms.”

“I worked in three teams: Global Economics, Multilateral Investment Banks, International Institutions and Policy.

The work was extremely varied which meant that no day was the same. Studying Economics and Politics it was

a really interesting time to work at the treasury especially post-Brexit. It brought my degree to life and being behind the

scenes allowed me to understand why things happen.”
