Post-production, streaming and broadcast technology all rely on genuine technical infrastructure. An internship here can build skills relevant to the increasingly tech-driven side of the screen industry.

Graphic Design internships

Gain practical experience creating visual content and working on professional creative projects. These skills can transfer to areas such as entertainment marketing, promotional content and visual communications.

Music & Performing Arts internships

Gain experience in creative and performance-focused environments while developing skills in collaboration, production and creative project work. This can be particularly relevant if you're interested in the wider entertainment industry.

Entrepreneurship internships

Develop skills in pitching ideas, project development, business planning and launching new ventures. This can be valuable for aspiring filmmakers interested in developing their own creative projects or eventually running a production business.

Hear from our interns in Dublin

"Dublin is a really nice city to live in, with very friendly and welcoming people. I also thought it was a great opportunity to improve my English skills. I like going out with the other interns from The Intern Group, and we've done a lot of cultural activities together. For example, we did an Irish dancing class, which was really fun. I also love that the city has such a strong music scene, with so many talented artists playing on the streets. It's a very musical city. You can hear people playing music all the time, and they're really good!" - Pedro Borin, intern in Dublin

They help you find a company and arrange interviews, and they also have a local team that helps you connect with other students from all over the world.
