Research Student Internships

The BBSRC is implementing compulsory internships for PhD students to broaden their skill set and open new career paths. These internships, lasting three months within the four-year program, offer a diverse range of experiences unrelated to students' research. Newcastle Medical Sciences also provides internship schemes, including the MRes/PhD Internship lasting five weeks. Students can apply for internships independently or through competitive selection processes. Various organizations participate in offering internships, such as companies, policy makers, educators, charities, and not-for-profit organizations. Supervisors are supportive of students taking internships, ensuring minimal impact on research work. Embrace this opportunity to enrich your professional capabilities and network with industry leaders.
