Technology Research Experience Placements
Applications are now closed for Summer 2026
The School of Technology invites current undergraduate students to apply for an eight-week paid research experience placement which will take place in the summer of 2026. These placements are run with support from Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge.
This is open to all students who meet the essential and widening participation criteria and provides an opportunity to undertake an eight-week research project in one of our departments.
Practical training sessions that include presentation skills and preparing applications for postgraduate courses also form a vital part of the programme with centrally organised social activities providing an opportunity to interact with other visiting students on placements across the University.
During the placement you will:
- Receive payment equivalent to the real living wage
- Stay in college accommodation to experience student life at Cambridge
- Be part of a research group to experience real postgraduate
- Undertake training to help you prepare for applying for postgraduate courses
Placements will start on Monday 6th July 2026, ending Friday 28th August 2026.
