Students with a background in either humanities or law are particularly urged to apply.
DUP Publishing Manager Anna Day said “The standard and volume of applications we receive is always impressive, and this is a fantastic opportunity for students who wish to work in publishing to get hands-on experience and get paid at the same time.”
