Project Start Date March 2020
The UK's thriving research, innovation and technology landscape offers MIT students a broad range of opportunities to engage with British culture hands-on while pursuing their professional and academic interests at UK companies, universities, non-profits, and research institutes.
MIT-UK creates opportunities for students and faculty to learn from and contribute to the UK’s thriving innovation environment through internships at leading companies and start-ups, faculty research partnerships with UK universities, hands-on STEM teaching and mentorship, and study abroad and exchange opportunities at some of the world's leading research universities.
MIT-UK works with an existing network of host companies across all sectors, and also helps students find and secure opportunities outside of our existing network. Internships typically last from 10-12 weeks during the summer, though longer placements can also be arranged. Key sectors include: computer science and artificial intelligence, biotech and pharmaceutical, fintech and financial services, materials science and engineering, design, architecture, and sustainability.
