Scientist? Finance student? Need a work placement?

Posted by rhulcareers on November 16, 2008

Royal Holloway has teamed up with the South-East Health Technology Alliance to connect students to local companies in the Health Technology sector. The health technologies sector is composed of those businesses from the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, diagnostic and medical device industries which address human or animal health needs. The UK has one of the most successful health technology industries in the world and the south-east is arguably the most important region within it. It has the highest concentration of health technologies companies in the UK with a quarter of the company base (approximately 600 companies) and a third of the employment.

Students currently studying Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Physics, Marketing, Accounting and Finance are welcome to apply. You can specify how long you would be available to work (e.g. summer 2009) and in what field. We will then try to match students with suitable companies. These positions are all paid.

The deadline for applications is 12 December 2008.

An explanatory workshop for students interested in this scheme is arranged for 1.00pm – 2.00pm on 28 November in the careers centre. No need to book in advance, just turn up.
