There will  be most of the information you need in the UCL library (there is a
Museum Studies MA there).  They certainly take Museums Journal, which is where
vacancies are advertised,.  It the MTI's booklet on careers in Museums, Heritage
and Conservation isn't there, call them direct (number is in the Museums
Yearbook, under their new name Cultural Heritage National Training
Organisation).  You could also ask one of your tutors for an introduction to the
course leader (may be Nick Merriman still - I'm a little out of touch).

Internships (i.e. paid work for people with little or no experience) are
virtually non-existent in the UK.  There are, however, lots of opportunities to
volunteer.  If you would like to volunteer in Surrey, please get in touch - I
run a clearing house which tries to match volunteers' skills, interests and
needs to museums' needs.

Best wishes,
