It’s that time again! We’re looking for a few great interns for the summer of 2014. If you're an ambitious undergrad or grad student who shares our passion for games (especially League of Legends) and are eager to get into scrapes with challenging work, think about spending your summer with us.
We’ll post all the infos about upcoming internships in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. In the meantime, read this page to get informed and to see the list of teams that’ll be hosting interns this summer. Each hosting team will supply its interns with meaty projects, honest mentorship and lots of opportunities to get to know Riot Games overall. Interns will playtest new champions and features, gain first-hand experience serving on the front lines of player support, attend leadership seminars and industry education via Riot U, and enjoy events with the rest of Riot including Show and Tell, Riot Rumble, LoL skills training and early new movie screenings.
Read on for info on available internships, deets on how to apply and answers to frequently asked questions.
HOW TO APPLY:
We’ll be opening applications on December 6, 2013. The application deadline for summer 2014 internships is January 15, 2014. Applications received after this date won't be eligible for a summer 2014 internship.
Check out the list below to see the internships we’ll be opening soon. We’ll post more info about each role by December 6, 2013, so check back!
Before you apply, we'd encourage you to read through this page for helpful info that'll increase your chances at landing one of the few internship spots we'll have available this summer.
Every application must include a cover letter, your resume and your summoner name. In your application pitch, share why you’re interested in Riot, what you want to learn and what we can learn from you. Help us understand why you're right for the team that you're interested in by sharing what you've done that's truly above and beyond and how that may relate to a specific internship opportunity. For example, if you're an artist, slay us with your killer portfolio. If you're an engineer, show us code you wrote from that project that got you the A+. If you see Game Design in your future, maybe a carefully crafted, well-argued analysis of a current League of Legends design challenge is the way to our hearts. There are 99 ways to impress us, but an average pitch ain't one. Most internships also have a team-specific assessment, so be sure you complete these as well. Last year, we received more than 5,000 applications for 31 internship spots, so make sure yours stands out.
We recognize that a great internship application takes time and effort, so we promise to respond to all applications by February 15, 2014.

The WoW Student Art Contest
The 2013/2014 Contest is coming and we’re expanding yet again!
Last year’s contest called for entries in two categories -Environment Art or Character Art. This year we’re also adding categories for Weapons Art and Animation.
The contest will officially launch later in December, but we teased the categories and submission requirements on the World of Warcraft community blog last week. Any interested students should head over there for more information and get to work on their submission ASAP!
New way for students to connect with us
We recently launched a LinkedIn Group just for University Relations!
Students and faculty are welcome to join the discussion here. We’ll post news in this space regularly, as well as respond to questions submitted by the community.
We look forward to sharing a lot of content that will be helpful to students who want to break into the industry and understand what it takes to get a job at Blizzard! Please encourage your students to follow us here, submit their questions, and read through the resources provided.
We’re still on Twitter too if you ever need a Blizzard Careers quick fix.
