Project Description
The Brilliant Club works across the UK, mobilising the PhD community to support less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities, and to succeed when they get there.
They are offering various placement opportunities across several key departments, including:
- Tutor Engagement
- University Partnerships
- Student Success
- Communities
- Research and Impact Department
- Fundraising
- External Affairs
The project will align with the team the placement student joins, and their own interests and skills.
Interns will produce a written output by the end of the placement.
In addition to their allocated project, they will also contribute to the day to day running of the charity and its programmes, as outlined in the Internship Opportunity Advert Pack.

Please note this opportunity has been advertised across multiple Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs).
