Internship vs final year research project with student, Luca Papoff

Apr 1, 2025

In this episode we speak to student Luca Papoff about why he chose to do an internship as opposed to a typical research project in his honours year. Traditionally, students get the choice to do either a lab based project or a dissertation in the final year of their degree, but many instititions are now also offering an internship as one of their options too.

This option gives the student the chance to work with an external partner, to give them a real world experience of working for a company and delivering on an objective in the work place. In this episode we talk about Luca's experience - how is it different, why might you choose it and what are the benefits. Check it out!
