Student Summer Internship 2025 open for UoB students now! Deadline 26th of May 2025 (Monday)
Application form download
Project 1: AI-Driven Label Recognition in Real-World Settings (details in pdf)
Project 2: Text-Image Matching (Cross-Model Retrieval) in Computer Vision (details in pdf)
How to apply and eligibility: see each project description file above.
To fill in the form:
- HESA: 0110 (it is UoB ID)
- Reference: could be the lecturers who taught you before or your allocated personal tutor.
- Starting date: relatively flexible for me, as long as you give the 2-months duration over the summer.
