We believe strongly in supporting the development of our students through paid internships.
We work closely with the Careers Service Jobs on Campus team to provide a range of student intern opportunities which are open to both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students who are registered at Newcastle University.
Meet our Student Researchers
If you are a researcher looking for support to undertake a research project, then we usually fund internships through our Pioneer Award scheme. We acitively encourage researchers to consider using an intern to help support their research activities.
Working with colleagues in the Jobs on Campus (JobsOC) team we can work with you help find the ideal intern to support your research project. Recruiting an intern is remarkably straight forward and together with JobsOC we will help you get up and running with your new research partner.
The many benefits internships can offer you include:
- Potentially freeing up research time to do other tasks;
- Gaining a fresh perspective and new ideas;
- You may be eligable for additional funding from the Careers Service of £500 to support your research activities.
Our interns are usually paid £11.88 per hour and can work up to 20 hours a week during term time. Our internships are flexible but typically range between 5 and 20 hours support per week. If you are interested in incorporating a student intern into a pioneer award application to us, then please feel free to email Chris O'keeffe for help and advice.
We strongly value student participation in our research activity and welcome applications for our internships from all students at all stages of their studies. We aim to provide a welcoming and supporting environment where you can learn valuable skills and experience.
Our student intern opportunities are open to all registered students at Newcastle University. Our internships are offered as part of the wider Careers Service Jobs on Campus scheme. If you wish to apply for one of our internships then you must register with the Careers Service first.

Our student intern was amazing! Her web development, design skills, and curatorial ideas have been central to the project, and she has been a committed, enthusiastic, and invaluable member of the research team.
