Two ways to collaborate with NINE DTP


Non-academic partners have two main ways of collaborating with NINE DTP: By co-designing a collaborative studentship with a perspective student, where work with the organisation is integrated into the student’s thesis research; or by hosting a placement for a student, where they use and develop skills parallel to their thesis research.
