Overview

Through its Undergraduate Internship Scheme, Royce helps to support researchers, scientists, technical and professional services staff in hosting an undergraduate student intern at their institution to complete a summer project in materials science.

Each year, Royce invites applications for internship projects that cover materials research, technical development, equipment enhancement, and outreach or public engagement activities.

The wide scope of projects Royce supports through this scheme enables materials science undergraduates to gain insights into potential career pathways, well before they need to make decisions after completing their degree.

Participant Interviews

Jerry Mintah, a previous participant in the Royce Undergraduate Internship Scheme talks about his project and experiences on the Scheme.

Jerry discusses the work he conducted with the Faul Research Group alongside his Mentor, PhD candidate Basiram Brahma Narzary, and Supervisor, Professor Charl F. J. Faul, on the eight week Royce Summer Internship.

The research was published in the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Materials Chemical Frontiers Bifunctional metal-free porous polyimide networks for CO₂ capture and conversion receiving much positive feedback from the scientific community. This study was highlighted on the inside front cover of the journal, and is published open access and freely available to download.
