Some of the Interns from recent cohorts have sent in testimonials to share highlights from their participation in this program. Read about their experiences below!
I had a wonderful time with this program. I was really intimidated by the idea of doing an internship associated with such an important department, and all the professionalism that came with the application, but this has definitely been my favourite professional experience at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥.
All the other interns in my cohort were absolutely wonderful, and we got along quite well despite having different projects. The staff at DEEP are so incredibly friendly and kind, and the meetings we had weekly were a great opportunity to ask questions and get to know what other professors in the department were doing.
Every intern has different tasks, but each project is guaranteed to be interesting and, after meeting most of the faculty, it's guaranteed that you'll be paired with a professor who is incredibly knowledgeable in their field and happy to share that knowledge with you. Sometimes the work was difficult to manage with school, but I could not recommend it enough!

This internship expanded my academic and professional horizons, gave me the unique opportunity to collaborate professionally with a skilled and inspiring mentor, and introduced me to new ideas and peers that I wouldn't have encountered at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ otherwise.Â

The DEEP internship is unique. It is an excellent opportunity not only for me to research and contribute, but to learn and broaden my horizons in an invaluable way. As a law student, I truly cherished the opportunity to share ideas with my peers in various other fields, and have learnt so much from them.

This program is a great way to see how scientific research can concretely have an impact on the policies that rule our society. Doing scientific research implies being closer to our community than we might think. For a more holistic overview on research and its role, I would definitely recommend doing a DEEP internship.
