Research Training
Internships
PhD students are strongly recommended to do an internship of between three and twelve months duration at a top R&D institution. This can either happen between completing their undergraduate degree and commencing PhD studies, or by taking course leave during their PhD.
Past placements included a number of leading universities. Internship offers exist from other leading companies and universities.
Undergraduate Education
Honours Theses
We provide an extensive and frequently-updated list of thesis projects. Most of them expect a strong grounding in networks and security, as provided by our advanced-level coursework. In average one honours thesis per year leads to a publication.
Summer Internships
We strongly encourage the top performers in systems coursework to take one or two summer internships in the group, in order to deepen their experience with large systems, gain the first taste of research, and get better preparation for a successful honours thesis. Summer projects are similar to thesis projects, but often with more of a development than research angle.
We also frequently host interns from top universities around the world.
