Research internships offer alumni a unique opportunity to sponsor an Exeter student to undertake an immersive and interdisciplinary research project. We are keen to offer the opportunity to more students in a range of different subject areas.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Jackson-Grime-Davies research internship scheme, and how you can support Exeter students, please contact Jess Greenaway, Development Manager on: J.A.Greenaway@exeter.ac.uk
Jackson-Grime-Davies Internships
Alumnus Mick Jackson (BSc & PhD Chemical Engineering, 1979, 1984) set up the Jackson-Grime-Davies research internship in 2017 in order to give students the opportunity to gain an immersive research experience by designing and undertaking their own research project.
The internship, named after Mick, his industrial mentor at ECLP Ltd (Barry Grime) and his supervisor (Tom Davies) from his time at Exeter, lasts for six weeks over the summer and attracts the most curious minded students to nurture their passion for research.
Thanks to Mick’s vision, the programme has gone from strength to strength. Many students have benefitted from the opportunity, as well as Mick’s insights and generous support, which will have immeasurable impact on their future career trajectories.
