Disney Internships United Kingdom Programme

During our internship programme, you will have a fantastic opportunity to supplement your university degree with a 12-month work placement in one of our world-class business functions. Whether you cultivate relationships with clients in sales, lend your analytical expertise to finance, or harness your creative talents in products and licensing, you'll help us create stories that are truly remarkable.

As part of your internship, you will get access to the Disney Intern Development Programme — a curated learning pathway for interns incorporating on-demand, instructor-led, and project-based learning elements designed to support you and your development as a Disney Intern.

Our invaluable Internship scheme will put your education to work and give you the cutting-edge skills and experience to build your future career. We’ll train you and give you every opportunity – the rest is up to you. This is Disney, where dreams and career aspirations can come true!
