Application tips

  • Assign an experienced internal technical supervisor to mentor the student throughout the placement.
  • Check that the graduate candidate has completed their post-graduate qualification within the mandatory 12-month timeframe before applying.
  • Clearly demonstrate why your project represents a true 'first-of-its-kind' innovation rather than an incremental product upgrade.
  • Define a well-scoped technical project that an undergraduate student can realistically complete within a 10 to 12 week period.
  • Ensure the proposed position description strictly focuses on R&D responsibilities rather than general technical support or operations.
