Internship Grants
Connect To Industry With Internships
Internships provide valuable experience in a commercial environment for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. In collaboration with the Ai group and the APR.Intern program, DSI’s Industry Internship Grants help companies meet the costs of industry internships for undergraduate and RHD students respectively.
Through a short-term placement with an industry partner, students gain both ‘real world’ skills and form contacts and relationships within industry. This dynamic provides opportunities for both industry and universities to broaden their knowledge of the needs and processes of one another. It also provides industry with the opportunity to better understand the innovative prospects that can arise through working with universities, leading to longer-term collaboration.
Industry internships enhance the future employability of students and improve learning and research reputation outcomes for both the student and the university. We support these connections and collaborations by working with industry to find projects for students and help industry meet the cost of hosting interns.
