Industry-ready students for summer and winter internships. 果冻影院 NXI provides industry, the NHS and charities with talented computer scientists to work on cutting-edge projects outside of term time.
果冻影院 Computer Science students are among the best in the world and can work for you during their summer or winter breaks. You will:
- Gain a fresh perspective on your IT projects and explore the latest topics in the field.
- Access high-calibre resources for short-term projects.
- Take on students who already have experience of working with industry during their course.听
- Be the first to connect with top talent.
- Help the next generation of computer scientists launch their careers.
- Develop your own employees' leadership skills.
This programme uses the Industry Exchange Network (IXN) teaching methodology, recognised as best practice by the UK government. Pioneered at 果冻影院 in 2011, it is now deployed across nine universities. Over 20,000 students each year have work experience matched to their skills and interests. The success of the 果冻影院 IXN projects has led to demand for these paid opportunities outside term time. Thanks to the IXN programme, the interns have already gained industry experience so are well equipped to work in your organisation.
Our dedicated team works closely with our partner companies to understand their internship needs. This means we identify the most suitable candidates to work with you. 听We manage the process and reduce your administration tasks.
鈥�We were delighted by the attitude and innovative spirit that the 果冻影院 students brought. They quickly integrated into the team and their work has provided us with lasting value. We're looking forward to having them return so that they can contribute further.

The 果冻影院 NXI process
Learn about the details of the 果冻影院 NXI programme, the timelines and both your and 果冻影院鈥檚 responsibilities.听
- Internship durations vary by negotiation with the students. They can be from 2 to 14 weeks long. 听 听
- Internships take place during the summer and winter breaks.
- You should submit an outline of your proposed internship at least six weeks before the summer or winter breaks start. However, we may be able to accept proposals after those deadlines.
- We select candidates using the IXN teaching methodology that matches the skills required for the work with the students' interests, motivations and capabilities. We use a unique algorithm, and the input of teaching staff, to assess the students for the roles.
- Our team are available to discuss your proposal and assess which cohort would provide the most suitable match.听
- We then identify potential candidates. You sign an agreement with 果冻影院 before we introduce you to the students. You can then interview them.听
- 果冻影院 NXI connects students and organisations. The contract for the internship is between you and the student. 听There must be a contract in place before work begins.
- You are responsible for managing your intern. You should provide a technical mentor who will supply a brief, authorise the use of data and methods, and provide all the infrastructure needed to support the intern.听
- The IP and materials belong to your company unless otherwise agreed with your intern.
