Internships - Clinical Research 2025 - 2026
- Start Your Career with Care
Our internship programme runs from 24 November 2025 to 20 February 2026, and offers mentorship, training, and social activities to help you build professional skills and connections. In our hands-on, proactive environment, you’ll be working with the latest technology turning your thinking into reality.
About the Internships
Our Clinical Research Internship will give you a broad insight into the medical device industry. You will be exposed to a variety of functional areas across the business, including insights into marketing, regulatory, legal, and quality. During your internship, you will be involved in various areas of the clinical research program which may include conducting systematic literature reviews and writing scientific reports which support the ongoing regulatory approvals for our product portfolio, supporting ongoing clinical trial activities, or collaborating with cross departmental teams to substantiate marketing claims. You will also have the opportunity to work collaboratively with engineers, scientists and marketers.
About You
For our Clinical Research Internship positions, you are either in your final year of undergraduate or currently undertaking postgraduate studies in Health Sciences or Biomedical Science or similar and your strengths are in literature searches and review, report writing and reference management. Being in your Honours year and/or with experience in teaching, is beneficial.
Working in our Clinical teams you'll be involved in some key projects across the summer and it's your opportunity to showcase your abilities and passion; and our opportunity to demonstrate how we can make a difference together. Being a team player is also important; along with the ability to take initiative and communicate effectively.
