I have an offer from Oxford to study PPE at Merton and I had a question about getting internships during time off-term.
Looking at the firms that I'm interested in working for after I graduate (mainly management consulting and investment banking), I can't seem to find anything about internships outside of the summer after the second year. That seems to be when all of them start allowing them. However, it's important to me to get as much experience as possible, as early as possible and I was wondering how often first and second year students are able to find internships during their time off term.
I'll be an overseas student if that's relevant, however it looks like there won't be any visa restrictions for internships when I'm on my student visa.
Does anybody have experience on this matter?
