Research Student Internships
Dr Richy Hetherington
Why Internships?
Research Students Develop Many Skills
Many Benefits
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
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

Limited expenses for travel and relocation are available http://forms.ncl.ac.uk/manage_form.php?id=6127
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
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
