Research Internships

The Internet of Things (IoT) has seamlessly integrated into our homes, vehicles, and offices, optimising our daily routines. But with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), how will it reshape the landscape of IoT? How can AI and IoT work together? And what are the potential ramifications of an increasingly ‘intelligent’ world?

During this month-long internship, you’ll delve deep into the convergence of AI and IoT, exploring how they can enhance the devices we rely on. By researching the theory and practice of IoT, you’ll uncover the ways AI can supercharge IoT devices, allowing them to analyse data efficiently and make better decisions. Furthermore, you’ll explore their tangible applications and potential pitfalls, gaining a comprehensive grasp of the transformative potential when AI meets IoT.

Collaborating with your fellow interns, you’ll undertake research on this pioneering topic, and (supported by your Mentor) you’ll co-author an academic research paper for publication.

How will AI improve robotics? The potential applications of AI-enabled robots are limitless, offering exciting possibilities for improvement in the fields of engineering, medicine, construction, space exploration and more.

On this month-long internship, you will research the latest engineering breakthroughs in AI and robotics. You’ll analyse the potential future developments in the field, and will explore how AI technologies can be integrated into robots to enhance their capabilities and autonomy. You’ll also consider how AI algorithms can enable robots to perceive, learn, and make decisions in complex environments.

Collaborating with your fellow interns, you’ll undertake research on this cutting-edge topic, and (with the support of your Mentor) you’ll co-author an academic research paper for publication.

In 2023, the US Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action – the practice of favouring certain candidates over others on the basis of race. This decision has ushered in a significant shift in US equality law. With academic institutions and universities re-evaluating their admissions criteria, the ripple effect of this verdict sets an unprecedented legal benchmark. However, what was the legal basis for this decision, and what impact will it have on equality law more generally?

In this research internship, you’ll explore the history of equality law. You’ll research case law, legal theory, and international examples of affirmative action to assess its impact on society, universities and the legal world.

Collaborating with your fellow interns, you’ll undertake research on this cutting-edge topic, and (with the support of your Mentor) you’ll co-author an academic research paper for publication.

Can a cure be worse than the disease?

Many current oncological treatments, such as chemotherapy, are incredibly toxic and can have severe physical and psychological side effects. Recent breakthroughs in personalised medicine might offer the potential for more effective therapies with fewer side effects.

So, how does personalised medicine actually work? And how could it be applied in oncology?

This month-long research internship will encourage you to explore the latest possibilities in personalised medicine, analysing both the scientific and the public health implications of these developments. Specifically, you’ll focus on cervical cancer, and examine the latest research into personalised treatment of this disease.

Collaborating with your fellow interns, you’ll undertake research on this pioneering topic, and (with your Mentor) you’ll co-author an academic research paper for publication.

As the geopolitical world shifts around us, what role can international organisations like the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) play in fostering peace, encouraging cooperation, and solving global problems?

During this month-long research internship, you’ll gain an understanding of the UNSC, its place in the international system, and how it influences the global picture. You will critically examine how the role of the United Nations has altered over the past decades, evaluate the impact of the rise of China and Russia, and look to ways the UNSC is likely to evolve in the future.

Collaborating with your fellow interns, you’ll undertake research on this pioneering topic, and (with your Mentor) you’ll co-author an academic research paper for publication.

It’s often said that the use of smartphones, video games and social media has caused attention deficit disorders (like ADHD and ADD) to rise and our attention spans to shrink. But what is the neuroscience behind these trends, and is the cause really that simple?

You’ll explore the psychology and neuroscience of ADHD on this month-long Research Internship, examining the psychological factors that cause hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. With your Mentor and fellow interns, you’ll assess the latest neuroscience research, and you’ll co-author a research paper on this topic for publication in an academic journal.

This research opportunity is an unmissable chance for anyone hoping to study psychology, neuroscience, or medicine at university to explore this mental disorder, and will make your university application stand out from the crowd.
