Programme Structure & Research Topics
Over the period of 8 weeks, successful interns will gain experience in undertaking research in an academic environment and potentially motivate them to consider further studies at the Institute. The interns will be supervised by a University Faculty member, research fellow, or postdoctoral researcher. The Programme will include a series of seminars along with regular meet-up sessions in which the Interns will be invited to present their research.
Each IoA Summer intern will be provided with a desk, a desktop computer and applicable IT access credentials for the duration of the 8-week internship.
