Applications for The Tab’s Summer Internship programme 2025 are now open

Applications for The Tab Summer Internship programme 2025 are now open, and we want the best Tab student writers to join us at The Tab HQ.

This year we are offering one week remote placements, which will involve you in every aspect of our editorial output, from breaking big stories, writing the hottest trash TV takes, creating powerful opinion pieces to managing social media.

Summer internships are given to our best rising stars and those who have been committed and regularly written for The Tab.

Due to The Tab HQ staff’s flexible office working, this year’s internships will be offered remotely with the opportunity to come into our London office for one of the five days for any students who can make it work. We have offered remote internships since 2020 and every year they’ve been a complete success, with interns joining the office (virtually) week by week for months.

This year’s Summer Internship will run Monday-Friday, and will start in May running through until September. Placements will each be one week long.

What will you be doing?

Every morning between 9am and 9:30am, the team trawls the internet for new stories, and at 9:30 we have our pitching meeting, where we discuss what we’ll be writing that day. The ideal candidate is someone comfortable finding original ideas for stories and confidently pitching them.

As an intern, you’ll be a member of the editorial team, and you’ll have the opportunity to write and publish multiple stories every day. Hours are 9am-6pm, for a full week Monday-Thursday with an early finish on Friday of 4:30pm.
