Research Internships
I have hosted research interns from Ireland and internationally, including undergraduate students undertaking summer and study-abroad placements. Their work has contributed to projects in psychology, inclusive education, disability, and professional practice.
Previous placements have involved investigating educational experiences, contributing to research projects, exploring assistive technology, and preparing research presentations. These experiences have offered students opportunities to connect their studies with research in practice.
For TCPID students and graduates seeking workplace experience, please see TCPID work placements and graduate internships. The records below concern academic research placements.
