In order to apply to the team, you’ll first need to fill out an online application where you’ll have a chance to explain your interest in brewing (or your chosen sub-team), as well as what you hope to gain from joining the team, and how your experiences have set you up for success. After submitting the application, you’ll be able to book a time for an in-person interview with our sub-team leads. Finally, you’ll hear from us about the outcome of your application, typically in late September, around 2-3 weeks after the start of the application period.
The main application window opens at the start of the academic year in September. Depending on the team’s capacity, we may also open a second window in January.
