Hi there,
Some of you may know me from the FRA forum, I'm a UK roboteer, currently in my first year studying General Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
I'm looking for some work experience/vac work during our summer holidays (June/July/August) relating to robotics.

If any of you guys can think of anything I should apply for or are able to offer such an opportunity I'd love to hear from you!

I can supply a résumé on request, either contact me on here or by email:
maxmed17(at)gmail.com

Thanks for reading and happy Christmas!

Can nobody think of anything worth looking at?

Sorry, can't help you on that one. Were you thinking of coming out to Australia just for work experience?

CSIRO and QUT do a Vac program but it's sorta for 3/4th yrs and in our summer.

Not really much Vac work around for 1st year end students particularly paid.

Don't hold me to it but my workplace i think only takes 3rd or 4th years as well. Is it even easy to get a Visa to work here temporarily?

Working holiday from UK should be ok but think it will need proper visa.

@Nick yeah my plan would be to come out to Australia and work for a month or so then probably do a bit of travelling around Australia for a couple of weeks. Last year I worked at a University in Johansburg and had a great time as it was a great way of experiencing a new culture.

Finding something suitable for 1st years is a struggle over here as well, I guess I might as well email these company's to see if they have anything.

In terms of Visa's I can get a working holiday visa which might be applicable, or there seems to be another visa for if it counts towards your degree which this would. I would have to speak to our careers department but I believe it can be done.

Out of interest where do you work Glen?
