This year, AUT's
Good Health Design is switching things up with our summer studentships. We are looking to offer summer studentships to students keen on enrolling into the Master of Design (for the 2025 intake) on a case-by-case basis. That is, we are looking to match invested students who are interested in pursuing a masters in the design for health and wellbeing space with a number of our existing and upcoming research projects, based on the skills the students bring and the direction they want to be heading. In this way, summer studentships are tailored for the student and provide a meaningful stepping stone to their masters research.
How to apply.To apply for a summer studentship, send your CV, portfolio (if applicable), and a statement about why you are interested in design for health and wellbeing and doing a summer studentship with us to goodhealthdesign@aut.ac.nz.
Potential applicants will be contacted for a short interview to get to know you better, your intentions for the Masters research and what skills you can offer through the summer studentship.
The details.Summer studentships are 10-weeks full time (37.5 hours per week). They are completed over the summer break from November to February (with a 2 week close down period over Christmas from late December to early January). This is a paid opportunity – summer studentships are paid a stipend (tax-free) of $7,500. This is paid in four installments over the course of the summer studentship.
Supervision Team.All projects will be supervised by staff at Good Health Design, and on occasion co-supervised with an external partner (where necessary for the research project).
Your Role.You will be working closely with the supervision team to carry out your assigned design/research project (project opportunities as outlined below). This role will require you to work at Good Health Design (at AUT) for the duration of the summer studentship and be part of a cohort with other summer students. You will need to document your research and design process throughout the project, and produce a report/presentation at the end of your role.
