The programme
The Financial Regulation Modelling Internship Programme at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF), at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, is intended for students pursuing education in legal research, policy and governance. It is especially suitable for law students who have an interest in the application of technologies to the domain of financial law and regulation. The work will be based in Cambridge, UK.
The internship is ideally a three to six month engagement. Applicants that are looking for longer-term, paid work in this area and are legally able to live and work in the UK may wish to instead register their interest with Emmanuel Schizas.
