Space Park Leicester is seeking UK space sector companies to host undergraduate micro-interns this autumn through the University of Leicester’s Micro-Internship Programme. The placements run from October to November 2025 and involve students contributing eight to ten hours per week over four weeks on defined projects designed to deliver tangible business outcomes.
Interns can support activities across satellite applications, Earth observation, data science, space hardware, and downstream commercialisation. Projects may include digital analysis, technical research, content development, or feasibility assessments. Businesses can choose to host interns in-person, remotely, or through a hybrid model.
Space Park Leicester operates as a collaborative hub connecting industry and academia, focusing on research, enterprise, and education in space and Earth observation. Companies taking part in the programme gain access to student expertise on specific business challenges while contributing to workforce development in the UK space sector.
Businesses interested in hosting a micro-intern should register by Friday, 5th September 2025. Detailed application guidance will be provided upon registration.
