NWSSDTP students can apply for additional funding, and a funded studentship extension, to undertake an internship.

NWSSDTP-funded students (including fees only students) can apply to undertake an internship during their PhD – master’s students are not eligible to apply. Internships should not take place during the first three months of the PhD, and any internships taking place in the final year of the studentship must be completed at least three months prior to the original end date of the studentship.

The process for applying for internship support is outlined below:

• NWSSDTP Internship Guidance
• NWSSDTP Internship Application Form

If successful, students will need the following paperwork:

• NWSSDTP Internship Expenses Form
• NWSSDTP Internship End of Award Report
