Each internship placement lasts 3 months (full-time) or 6 months (part-time). The model is designed to be flexible so that partners can fit the placement to their needs.
PhD researchers take a break from their studies to do the internship, and are paid a stipend and expenses by the SGSSS.
The internships are paid opportunities for students, making the scheme sustainable for students and the SGSSS. Each internship costs £6,100.00. Please contact team@sgsss.ac.uk to find out more.
Host organisations submit a proposal to the SGSSS for an internship placement based on a need within your organisation. The SGSSS then advertises the opportunity to students, and the host can decide which applicant to take. To find out more, contact team@sgsss.ac.uk.
