Undergraduate Summer Research Internships 2020
School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
The School of EEECS will be supporting a number of Undergraduate Summer Research Internships over the Summer 2020 holiday period. The aim of the Scheme is to identify and develop researchers of the future. It is hoped that the internship will improve employability by developing experience and key skills such as problem solving, team working, and self-discipline.
Eligibility
The scheme is open to all EEECS Undergraduates (apart from students on the BIT degree pathway, students who are due to graduate this summer and PGT students).
General Information
Each internship will last between 6-8 weeks and will pay a weekly stipend of £300 (for each week worked). Accommodation and travel costs are not provided under this scheme. No payments will be made for university closure days.
Students will be expected to complete this application form and return it to Angela Anderson (email: a.e.anderson@qub.ac.uk) no later than 13th March 2020.
Further details on projects can be obtained by following the links below.
Please Note: It is preferred that the internship takes place during May-July and successful applicants will be encouraged to negotiate start and finish dates with their supervisor. It is possible to split the internship to allow for summer holidays. Please note that the internships will be offered across three sites (the Ashby Building, ECIT and the Computer Science Building).
