Students from our MSc Cyber Security programme are looking for internship opportunities for up to six months to gain professional experience and to undertake an industry-based project (where possible). Your organisation can propose a topic/or area of work or one can be agreed with the student prior to their commencement of the internship.

Internships are undertaken in the July to December period, for between 3-6 months and the scheme enables our students to undertake work in industrial projects of direct value to organisations whilst simultaneously learning along professionals.

There are many advantages of recruiting a postgraduate student City:

• Postgraduate internships are fixed term and there is no requirement for you to offer work extending past this period. This means no long-term overheads or expensive recruitment fees.
• Our students can bring an established skill-set in key areas such as network security, cryptography, digital forensics and security auditing.

The dissertation project provides the bedrock of the internship scheme and, ideally, the host company will have an industry-based project to offer the student which will then double-up as their dissertation. We just need to ensure that any proposed project meets the academic requirements laid out by the university and all students are assigned an academic supervisor who can advise and help to finalise this.
