In early July, departments could apply for funded student internships to support moving teaching activities online, through UCL Connected Learning Internships.

Initially, UCL ChangeMakers and UCL Careers were able to offer up to 25 internships, which were open to all UCL students. Further funding was secured and a total of 76 projects were confirmed.

Many thanks to teams across UCL who helped to shortlist the 2,793 applicants. 

All departments who applied received funding.
