Ipsos is seeking a Research Intern for our qualitative team
Are you passionate about understanding what drives human behaviour? And are you considering a future career in consulting and research? Join Ipsos Denmark's qualitative team as a Research Intern beginning in January/February 2027.
At Ipsos, we help companies such as LEGO, TV 2, Novonesis, and Carlsberg understand what matters to people. By combining ethnographic, qualitative, and digital research methods, we uncover the needs and tensions that shape people's everyday lives. We then translate these insights into clear recommendations that inform innovation, communication, product development, and business strategy.
As a Research Intern in our qualitative department, you will join a team of anthropologists, sociologists, strategists, and qualitative specialists who share a passion for understanding people and translating deep human understanding into actionable recommendations for our clients.
We offer an internship where you become an integrated part of the team from day one, working on real client projects, and gaining hands-on experience with qualitative research. We are committed to creating a learning environment with plenty of opportunities to shape your internship around your interests and academic background.
