Horizon DTC (Doctoral Training Centre), based at the University of Nottingham are in the process of organising internship placements over the summer of 2010 for its first cohort of Doctoral Training Centre students. The students all with excellent academic backgrounds and many have prior industrial experience.
Brief profiles of the students can be seen at: http://www.horizon.ac.uk/students/horizon/students and you can find out more about Horizon at http://www.horizon.ac.uk
Companies can take on a student for between 10-14 weeks, over the summer, during which time the student would either work on a self-directed project of relevance to your organisation's needs or they would work on a pre-defined project that you had specified or worked-up with them prior to the internship. Understanding that companies often need to make such staffing decisions well in advance we are trying to arrange internships with participating organisations as early as possible. Please send any specific internship project ideas you might currently have or details of internship opportunities that might be relevant to:info@grace.ac.uk
