London 2026 Summer Internships are here…

Over the past three years, we’ve welcomed cohorts of 10 talented Summer Interns to our London offices and we’re excited to invite a new group of rising talent to join us for our 2026 programme. 

If you're driven, enthusiastic and passionate about our brands, then our Summer Internships could be the perfect opportunity for you - you can see what our previous cohorts got up to during their internships at Condé Nast Careers.

About the internship:

During this paid internship, you will get first-hand work experience, mentoring from employees in your selected field, as well as the chance to contribute and make a real impact.

We thrive on nurturing future talent and we want you to be part of that journey, which means you don’t need to have tons of experience, just the right attitude and determination.

To be eligible, you must be:

• Over 18 and have the legal right to work in the UK
• Going into your final year of undergraduate studies in Autumn 2026
• Able to come to our London office Monday - Friday for 10 weeks 
• Available from 8th June to 14th August 2026

Important information you need to know:

• Applications close on 2nd January 2026 at midnight. 
• Only applications submitted via our careers portal will be considered.
• Along with your CV, please attach a Cover Letter and if applicable, your portfolio.
• Ensure all application questions are fully answered - Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Due to the volume of applications we receive, we cannot accept submissions after the listed deadline of 2 January. We know it’s tempting, but please don’t leave it to the last minute - give yourself plenty of time to upload and submit your application to avoid disappointment!

The use of AI

At Condé Nast, original ideas and storytelling sit at the core of our work. Our audiences trust us to deliver quality content that is accurate, fair and distinctive. For this reason, Condé Nast teams do not rely on AI tools to create ideas and content.

AI can be a useful support tool, but your ideas and opinions must still be your own. We want your application to reflect your individual thinking. Generic AI-generated answers are easy for us to recognise and don’t show your actual abilities. Please ensure your submission reflects your own authentic ideas, knowledge and experiences.

Recruitment process:

Next Steps: If your application progresses to the next stage, you will hear from us by February.

Video Task: Successful candidates will receive a simple video task, which must be completed within 24 hours. The task will involve recording a short video of yourself answering set questions, which will help us in the shortlisting process.

Outcome Notification: If you do not hear from us by March unfortunately, your application has not been successful. Regrettably, we are unable to provide individual feedback. 

We want you to have a great experience, so if you require any assistance or adjustments, please do let us know.
