Our Unitemps team share what these look like, and the opportunities available.
What are Research Internships?
Every year the Research and Development team offer current CCCU taught students the opportunity to undertake a paid internship, working with academics across the University, and across a wide range of subject areas. Typically, the internships last for 8 to 10 weeks and equate to 200 hours. The internships offer students the opportunity to enhance their research skills and gain experience on working on a live project which supports any future studies and graduate applications. They are advertised and recruited to through Unitemps*.
*Unitemps is the University’s internal recruitment agency.
