OFF CYCLE INTERNSHIPS UK

I wanted to ask if there’s any realistic chance of getting an off-cycle internship in the UK if you’re studying at a target university like LSE, but doing a master’s program that is not considered target.

Does being at LSE still open doors for off-cycle opportunities, or is it heavily dependent on the specific program? Would really appreciate any insights from people who have gone through this or know others who did.

Off-cycles are more achievable than SAs if you have strong work experience, even from less targeted programs. I know a guy from Bayes that got MS OC. Depends how non-target we're talking, though. What program are you attending?

To infinity... and beyond!
