  2. Why Internships? • Research Students Develop Many Skills

  3. Many Benefits

  4. BBSRC PIPS – Professional Internships for PhD Students • BBSRC MRes/PhD students are required to engage in a 3 month internship in work unrelated to their research • “BBSRC would welcome research institutions extending the scheme to other PhD students” • For all other MRes/PhD we are relaxed on subject and timing 5 weeks is enough

  5. MRes/PhD Internship Scheme The MRes/PhD Internship • A five week internship in August and September (or another time by arrangement) • Available for all MRes/PhD students • Express your interest in an internship • http://forms.ncl.ac.uk/edit_form.php?id=1953 • Limited expenses for travel and relocation are available • http://forms.ncl.ac.uk/manage_form.php?id=6127

  6. Who with? Feel free to make your own approach or we can try to help you find one e.g. • Companies e.g. Demuris, ORLA Proteins, Leica Microsystems • Policy makers e.g. Newcastle Council or Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust • Educators e.g. Local Schools, FE Colleges, Centre for Life, Libraries or Museums • Charities or Not for Profit organisations e.g. Arthritis UK or The Children's Foundation

  7. What about my research project • Internships can been timed to have minimal impact on your research work • Internships can be taken any time after MRes project submission • A two week holiday period will still be available during the summer if you take an internship • You will require your Supervisors agreement to take up an internship
