Placement Opportunities with DSTL

Applications are now open for both summer placements and 1-year industrial placements at DSTL (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory). To find out more about the opportunities at DSTL, we interviewed Nic Ingram who has just returned from a year in industry with DSTL to complete his final year at Newcastle University.

Who did you do your placement with? And what does the company do?

I did my placement with DSTL. They sustain and grow science and technology capabilities that must remain in government, and help develop capabilities that are managed elsewhere, for example, in industry and academia.

How did you apply for the placement?

I applied through the Gov.uk website.

What was your favourite part of the placement?

We did some fun hacking events which allowed me to develop useful skills and try something new.

How was the overall experience of doing a placement?

Overall, I really enjoyed the placement and made lots of new friends and contacts, all whilst developing my own personal skills.

If you have any questions about applying for a placement, you can email Nic: n.a.ingram1@newcastle.ac.uk
