Find an internship by talking to people about your interests and by looking at and applying to advertised vacancies. 

The most effective way of finding jobs and internships is through networking, or talking to people about your interests.  See Networking Contacts for information on networking for internships.

Reading advertised vacancies is a great way to learn about the kinds of internships in which you are interested so that you can tell people about your interests.
