At the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT), we are at the forefront of integrating academic excellence with real-world applications through our Industry PhD and Internships Program. Our commitment to bridging the gap between academic research and industry practice sets us apart.
For graduate researchers, you will have a unique opportunity to work closely with industry leaders, gaining hands-on experience and contributing to innovative projects that have a real impact.
For industry, business and government, you can source top talent from our pool of STEM graduate researchers to help your business address its next R&D challenge.
Opportunities for PhDs: FEIT Research Internships
Our research internships provide graduate researchers with the chance to apply their expertise in real-world settings, collaborating with industry partners such as businesses, enterprises, and government agencies. These internships, which last between 3 to 6 months (with a minimum of 60 full-time equivalent days), allow you to work on research and development (R&D) projects that align with your research area.
We recommend exploring internship opportunities early in your PhD journey, ideally securing one within the first 18 months of your candidature. While you can complete an internship at any point during your studies, it’s important to ensure it fits within your candidature timeline.
By choosing an internship that aligns with your interests and builds on your skills, you’ll not only enrich your research experience but also gain valuable career opportunities post-completion.
