FULLY PAIDED INTERSHIP 'POST-GRADUATE LIFE SCIENCES' at Cambridge-Please let me know

(1)Group Work: Will I be working in a group for the entire 8-week program, or will the tasks be assigned individually? I noticed on the website that we will "primarily work in our department, research group, or lab," but what does that mean? Will I be in a Group for the whole 8 weeks (because I hope so, I want to do more Team-working experience on a Project since my Biomedicine course only had 1 opportunity)



This follow to my next question,

Final Presentation: The website mentions that participants will produce a final piece of work, such as a poster or a 4,000-word essay, to be presented at the end-of-programme showcase. Is this presentation done individually, or will it involve presenting as part of a group?



Travel and Accommodation:As a Birkbeck student, I would like to know if participants are expected to meet at Birkbeck University before traveling to Cambridge, or if alternative travel arrangements are provided. Also, I would like to (double) confirm whether accommodation has been prepaid and if participants need to cover food expenses or if the provided stipend is intended for grocery purchases.

=In otherwords, if food provided

OR will we have access to kitchen and appliances to cook out own food



CONTEXT:I'm a 2nd year Birkbeck student and I am interested in the fully funded 'Experience Postgrad Life Sciences' summer internship program at the University of Cambridge.

But I would appreciate clarification on a few points



Also, if anyone has done this before could I have some advice please?

But I would appreciate clarification on a few points (the website is a bit vague I think)
Thank you for your time :smile:
