10,000 Black Interns 2025/26 Applications

Hey!
Has anyone else applied for the 10K Black Interns programme for this year's cycle? I'd love to hear what workstreams people have applied for and keep this thread as a way to post updates/talk about the internship application process!

Personally, I have applied to Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences, Research and Development and Health Data Research :smile:
Applications are open from September 1st (today!) and will close on October 19th 2026

(Edit: corrected application close date)

Do you mean it's not letting you progress from the page where you upload your CV? Have you tried maybe putting a different year just to see if it lets you progress? ( don't submit it like that tho)

No, didn't too well in interview. I got matched with 3, only 1 invited me for an interview, the others ignored.

Then I got matched again, but we were not compatible

Didn't get such email.

Are you saying that not all streams opened at the same time?

This email wasn't from 10KBI but from the actual internship company themselves HDR UK. Yeah I think each internship probably has different opening times but from what I'm seeing they are all in November.
