The selection process for internships and sponsorship schemes is the same as the main graduate round.
The website is open for PhD internship applications from mid-November to late January. Applicants should submit an application form and a supporting reference from their supervising professor. The selection is based on the application and a telephone interview, which will take place during February.
Sandwich students will have an interview and a test depending on which role they are applying for. Research assistants will undertake an excel test; project assistants and IT support staff will undertake an aptitude test.
Selection centres for Initial Entry and Gap Year schemes take place approximately one month after the application closing date. The centres consist of:
- Aptitude tests, covering spelling/grammar, numerical awareness and decision making.
- A group exercise, which acts as an ‘ice-breaker’ and is designed to test your communication skills.
- An interview, designed to talk through your skills and experiences both academically and relating to you as an individual.
