Internships

Student working in the Black Hole Lab on University Park

Internships are one of the most popular ways students look to gain work experience. They usually take place in the spring and summer vacation periods, or after graduation. Internships can last between four and 12 weeks.

You may also hear the term 'spring weeks' and these are short periods of work experience typically aimed at first and second year students.
