The Wall Street Journal Internship Program
The Wall Street Journal internship program is an opportunity primarily for university students in their second year, to work in our award-winning newsroom in London. Final year students (undergraduate and graduate), enrolled in a degree program by the application deadline, are also eligible to apply.
You will work closely with other reporters and editors to deliver prompt, accurate reporting of breaking business and finance news. You will be expected to generate your own story ideas and follow those stories through to completion with supervision and guidance from an editor.
We are looking for ambitious students who think foremost about the audience and are able to work independently under deadline pressure. Dedication to high journalism standards and excellent writing and reporting skills are required. A demonstrated interest in business reporting is required.
You should have completed at least one prior reporting internship with another professional media organization or published exceptional work with a campus news outlet or as a freelancer.
Fluency in English is required and fluency in at least one additional language is welcome. Applicants must have the right to work in the U.K.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
