We are looking for students ready to create their own opportunities within TTP. You will have the chance to participate in all areas of the work we do, including time in the lab, joining team meetings and calls with clients.

- Must have completed at least 2 years of study by the time of the start of your internship (so students at the beginning of second year are very welcome to apply)

- Demonstration of a good grasp of the fundamentals of your chosen discipline and the ability to apply these to understanding and developing new technology.
