Selection Criteria

Our selection criteria are based upon:

1. How we perceive an applicant’s maturity and ability through how s/he approaches us initially as well as how s/he handles subsequent communication with us in discussing the potential internship opportunity;

2. Whether we perceive an applicant is able to do independent research;

3. Whether the potential intern can suggest interesting research areas (from the intern’s perspective) s/he may like to do;

4. A minimum period of 6 weeks is required for undergraduates; and

5. Whether we feel we can successfully coach and supervise what a potential intern may wish to do during the internship.

The exact internship programme for each intern will be designed and finalised around when s/he comes/departs since the length of the internship will impact on what each intern can be expected to accomplish.
