Fields of study
Christie’s believes that experience is best gained through practical involvement in the activities of our departments.

- Administration
- Archiving
- Catalogue notes
- Research
- Managing libraries

- Specific projects
We anticipate to be recruiting for approximately 10 Graduate Interns per intake and Christie’s does receive a large number of applications for these Internships.
Please note that there are two intakes a year in January and July.
Sponsorship duration
Graduate Interns will be employed on a six month fixed-term temporary contract with an initial one month probationary period at the beginning of the programme.
There are two intakes a year in January and July. To allow others an opportunity to gain experience we regret that Internships cannot extend beyond a total duration of 12 months.
Scholarship benefits
Graduate Interns will be entitled to £240 per week. After 3 months graduates can join the corporate gym.
