For a challenging and fulfilling internship in one of P&G's UK Research Centres apply for our R&D UK Intern Programme.
The internship programme is a successful way to hire future R&D employees in UK. It is a period of mutual trial - a chance for you to gain industrial experience, look at us as a potential future employer and for us to see your capabilities.
Our main internship normally runs for 10-12 weeks in the summer break but we also offer internships/placements/thesis for longer periods (up to 1 year) and at different times of the year. All our 3 UK Innovation Centres participate as well as P&G Innovation Centers in Belgium and Germany.
On top of a great learning experience, participants will also receive an attractive remuneration package.
