    The internships are part of a government scheme - but they have no idea when it will actually start
  • I don't know too much about the government's intern scheme, but Durham University's scheme to give out £2,000 grants for postgraduate research is not new or unusual at all.

    Most departments at good universities will have a few grants (around £1,000-£2,000) for the best students enrolled on postgraduate courses. So, I can't really understand why this has made the news!
