Thanks to the generous funding from alumnus, Breht Feigh (MSc Economic History, 1993), the Department runs an internship programme that gives students the opportunity to work with faculty members on their research.
Creating learning opportunities beyond the classroom is crucial to prepare our students for the future and help them make a wider impact in the world.
For the past three years, this donation has allowed the Department to create 20 paid research internships for students to work on live research projects. These internships offer students a unique opportunity to enhance their research capabilities and develop their personal and technical skills. Having students working with a faculty member on a current research project also helps bring our community together and bridge the gap between teacher and student.
