WMG is offering students from the Faculty of Science the opportunity to find out what a career in academic research involves, by undertaking an internship.

The internships will be of interest to those students who are interested in career in research, want to develop their research skills or have thought about studying for a doctorate.

WMG will provide a £1,600 tax free bursary in return for 8 weeks of research in one of its many research groups over the summer 2012 vacation period.

There are a large number of projects on offer covering a diverse range of academic disciplines.

Eligibility

Students eligible to apply are either:

• Current first year students from the Faculty of Science. Students who perform well will be offered internships in subsequent years to further develop their skills.
• Students currently in their penultimate year of study. Students who perform well will be encouraged and helped to apply for PhD/EngD on graduation.

WMG is a global multi-disciplinary academic department. The aim of the WMG Undergraduate Internship Scheme is to identify and develop researchers of the future. The eventual goal is to significantly grow the number of students studying for an EngD and PhD.
