Summer Internship Opportunities…
We are offering summer internship opportunities for undergraduates within BT Research & Innovation (R&I) during the Summer vacation of 2014.
R&I is a unit within the BT Technology, Service & Operations unit (TSO), providing central research for the BT Group through researching & prototyping solutions of potential relevance to BT’s future. We work with customers, universities, vendors, and, most importantly, BT’s market facing units to take good technical ideas and turn them into great reality. That could start with things like intellectual property, prototypes, and trial systems but hopefully ends up with new products, processes or systems to help BT serve its customers around the world.
R&I’s scope includes – for example - the futures of the home and wireless. It covers the evolution of our high-speed core and access networks. It also covers techniques to improve customer service and optimise operations.
What we want and what you get…
Our summer internship would be particularly suitable for strong 2nd and 3rd year CUED engineers looking to do their 8 weeks Industrial Experience, and have an interest in Information or Electronic Engineering. We will also consider exceptional 1st year students. All candidates need to be competent coders.
A BT R&I internship offers you a paid 10-12 week summer placement working on an innovative project at BT’s Innovation Hub, Adastral Park, Ipswich (just over 1 hour from Cambridge and London).
Students who excel in our summer internships may be considered for fast-tracking through the Graduate Scheme application process… you could have a job offer before you start your final year!
