A square graphic with a red background. White text reads: 'Why apply for a UKRI Policy Internship? Our scheme offers UKRI-funded PhD students the chance to: undertake training and experience on a mutually agreed policy topic; contribute to outputs like briefing papers, events and policy inquiries.

❗Doctoral students: want to experience first-hand how research feeds into policy?

The latest round of the UKRI Policy Internships scheme is open for applications.
