What does NBCUniversal look for in internship candidates? 

NBCUniversal is looking for candidates who are curious, adaptable, and interested in building a career in media and entertainment.   

Strong candidates bring relevant experience through internships, part-time jobs, campus employment, coursework, extracurricular activities and leadership roles. Candidates should demonstrate strong communication skills, willingness to learn, and attention to detail and an understanding of how their interests and experiences align with the position.  

Applicants are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements and qualifications for each position before applying. 

How to apply for the NBCUniversal Summer 2027 Internship Program 

The NBCUniversal internship recruitment process typically takes three to four months and includes three primary stages: application submission, a recorded video interview and an interview with the hiring team.  

Candidates selected to advance will receive communications with instructions and next steps. Exact timing may vary by position, with offers expected to be completed by late February 2027. 

Step 1: Submit your Application 

Candidates can apply for available internship opportunities through the NBCUniversal Careers website. 

Applicants should submit a one-page resume highlighting relevant experience, including: 

• Previous jobs and internships 

• Relevant coursework and academic projects 

• Campus organizations and extracurricular activities 

• Leadership positions and volunteer experience 

• Skills and accomplishments related to the role 

A resume should clearly demonstrate the experiences and skills that make a candidate a strong fit for the position. 

Application tip: Review each job description carefully and tailor your resume to the responsibilities and qualifications of the role.  

Step 2: Complete a Recorded Video Interview 

Selected candidates will be invited to complete a one-way video interview, with invitations typically sent on a rolling basis during the first one to two months of recruitment. 

Unlike a live interview, candidates record their responses to a series of questions and submit them by a specified deadline. Depending on the positions they apply for, candidates may be asked to complete more than one video interview. 

NBCUniversal recruiters want to understand why candidates are interested in the company, the specific role and the broader media and entertainment industry. 

Candidates should be prepared to discuss: 

• Why they want to intern at NBCUniversal 

• Which businesses, brands or departments interest them 

• How their previous experiences relate to the role 

• Specific examples of their skills, accomplishments and interests 

• What they hope to learn and contribute during the internship 

Video interview tip: Prepare examples in advance, but avoid reading from a script. The goal is to communicate naturally and give recruiters a better understanding of your interests, experience and personality. 

Step 3: Interview with the NBCUniversal Hiring Team 

Candidates who advance beyond the video interview stage may be invited to meet with the hiring team. 

These interviews are expected to take place in late January through early February 2027. 

Before the interview, candidates will receive preparation materials, including information about the specific team and interview best practices. 

Candidates should familiarize themselves with NBCUniversal's businesses, review the job description and prepare thoughtful questions about the role and team. 

Hiring team interview tip: Be ready to connect your experience to the position and explain why the opportunity interests you. Specific examples of previous work, academic projects or leadership experiences can help demonstrate your qualifications.
