Introductory Seminar & Launch of the UCL BBSRC Placement Programme 2012.
Date: Thursday 29th March
Time: 2.00 – 3.00 pm
Location: UCL Careers Service The BBSRC will be introducing a requirement for all its future PhD registrants to undergo a period of formal internship in an organisation that is not directly related to the student’s research area. The aim of such internships will be to help research students develop a range of essential transferable skills and experience that will benefit their future careers, either within academia or beyond, and aid the process of career choice on graduation.
In preparation for this, UCL will this summer be conducting a pilot internship programme for current BBSRC sponsored students that will commence in June / July 2012 and last for a period of up to 12 weeks. To provide you with more information on what such internships could involve, and what you can expect to get out of them, we will be running a briefing seminar on Thursday 29th March, 2 – 3 pm at the UCL Careers Service.
Please note: This Programme is only open to current BBSRC – sponsored research students so only BBSRC research students can attend this seminar.
