Internship
Internship scheme
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.
The internship programme runs to the following programme:
20th November to 1st December 2006
Applications open to students on the Advanced Architectural Studies course at University College London. Internships will be taken between January and June 2007.
16th April - 4th May 2007
Applications open to all. Internships will be taken between June and September 2007.
16th July - 3rd August 2007
Applications open to PhD students at University College London. Internships will be taken between September 2007 and January 2008.
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 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 six 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.
