Internship
Space Syntax runs a lively internship programme, offering placements to students and professional visitors from the UK and around the world. Internships typically last between six weeks and three months, during which time students will follow a programme of fundamental research and practical application. Interns are guided by a Director and Associate of the company but will need to be motivated and able to work alone. They will agree a plan of work at the outset and be expected to report their progress on a regular basis, culminating in a presentation to colleagues at the end of the internship. Interns may also be given the opportunity to work on consulting projects.
Interns for this period have the opportunity to take a Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Architectural Studies at University College London. Applications are normally only considered until the end of August for the Autumn term of that year and are subject to UCL admissions policy and tuition fees. For further details, please click here.
Postgraduate Certificate students normally take the following modules: Housing, Spatial Theory 1, Complex Buildings 1 and Space Syntax Project. For details, please click here.
The internship programme runs to the following programme:
The internship programme runs throughout the year and applications must be made two months in advanced of the proposed start date.
The deadline for applications for students enrolled in the Advanced Architectural Studies course at University College London is the 1st of December 2008. Internships for AAS students will be taken between January and June 2009.
Please note the following:
- Interns will not be paid during their internship programme, however there is a bursary to cover basic subsistence and travel during work hours of 17 GBP per day. This does not constitute paid employment but is to cover expenses only.
- Space Syntax will provide workstations, software and other resources and materials during the internship.
- Interns will be provided with training on technical issues and the skills that they need for working on projects.
- Full time internships run for five days per week for a minimum of eight weeks, and part time internships for two days per week for a minimum of three months.
- We are linked with various internship organisations including the Leonardo da Vinci programme, which can provide funding channels for students.
Application to the internship programme does not guarantee a placement. We will consider various criteria for short listing, including applicants’ interests, company interests and references from Course Tutors.
Applications should be sent via email, using our Internship Application Form.
