Putting Life Sciences to Work
We are offering up to four match-funded summer internships for students to conduct applied research on your behalf.
We will work closely with you to assess your requirements, and tailor the project to meet your business needs.
Key features of the internships
- High calibre students with up-to-date skills.
- Jointly funded (£2,000 contribution).
- Supervised by a University researcher.
Who we are
Here in the section of Life Sciences at Canterbury Christ Church University, we have a broad range of expertise across the biological and chemical sciences, with a strong focus on applied research. With our new Industry Liaison Lab, we seek to expand our activity to directly benefit businesses at Discovery Park.
An internship a case study
'Venomtech has been very impressed with the whole process of finding and running a student internship with Christ Church. This was a very successful project due to the skills and dedication of all involved.'
'It was a really good learning experience. Doing something where the outcome really matters is brilliant because you’re making a difference and making a real impact on conservation research.'
