‌For the majority of interns, over a period of 8-12 weeks you will work on a research project which will focus on key areas of research. The research project will be mentored by leading scholars and experts.

Mathematics, statistics, and computer science students will spend the first few weeks in a class-based program (this is to be confirmed).
