EPSRC Winter Internships 2025

We have secured funding from EPSRC to run internships from October to March 2026. There are two project styles on offer. The first is so students can develop their skills in computational research and discover more about careers in research software engineering. The second is for students to learn about the various ways that digital research infrastructure has benefited researchers across the N8 universities.

The projects vary across our three themes of Digital Health, Digital Humanities, and Machine Learning. Learn more about this year's interns and their plans for the project on their pages.
