Host a student intern

We welcome proposals for intern placements from any size business, from start-ups to multinationals. Host a student within your organisation, to assist with a specific project or to preview potential future graduate employees.

We offer the following student placement options, each with a varying time commitment required by the host company. Any IP generated by a student during a placement resides with the host company.

Internship: 350 hours

Our 10–15 week internship program (350 hours/3–4 days a week) allows companies to employ high-achieving Masters students on short-term contracts to assist with specific projects or assist with general workload. The student will work at your premises as if they were a regular employee and you, or your staff, will supervise their daily workload. It is an opportunity for students to apply their technical knowledge to a workplace environment and to practise skills such as teamwork and project management.

A complete guide for both industry partners and students is available below.

If an internship requires a time commitment your company cannot support, you may wish to consider mentoring students.
