University Relations
Working with universities
Our clients are banks, health systems and public agencies, and the people who build and run their technology learn their craft in your classrooms and labs. We work with careers services, departments and faculty in four ways: on campus, in the lecture hall, in research and in structured internship programs.
Four ways to work with us
Choose what you are asking for
Each program has its own team at Moraph and its own lead time. One request form covers all four: choose the type, and it goes straight to the people who decide.
Campus recruiting
Careers fairs, employer presentations, information sessions, case and coding workshops, and resume clinics for students considering our internships and graduate programs.
Campus recruitingGuest lectures and speakers
Practitioners for a lecture, seminar series or panel on building and running technology where the rules are strict and failure has consequences.
Guest lecturesJoint research
Industry research collaborations with our Data Trust & Governance Labs and AI Research Lab, with data, intellectual property and publication terms agreed before work starts.
Joint researchInternship program partnerships
Credit-bearing internships, co-op placements, capstone projects and a planned pipeline between your department and our teams.
Internship programsCampus recruiting
On campus, and online
We recruit for three internship tracks and three graduate program tracks, in offices across the Americas, Europe, India and Asia-Pacific. Campus events are how many students first hear what that work involves.
What we offer
- A stand and recruiters at careers fairs
- Employer presentations and information sessions on our internships and graduate programs
- Case and coding workshops built on the practice material in our interview preparation guide
- Resume and application clinics
- Virtual sessions for campuses near none of our offices
What we ask
- A clear audience: which programs, years and degrees
- A room or platform that is accessible to every student
- The event’s registration and data rules, so we handle student details the way you require
- A named contact at the careers service or department
What to include in a request
- Event type, date and format (in person, virtual or hybrid)
- Expected attendance and the students it is for
- Other employers attending, if a fair
- Any costs to employers, such as fair fees
- Deadlines for confirming and for materials
Lead time: our recruiting calendar for each academic year is planned before it starts, so the earlier you ask, the likelier we can attend. Requests for fairs late in the season are still welcome; we will tell you plainly if we cannot make it.
Guest lectures and speakers
Practitioners in the lecture hall
Our engineers, operators, consultants and governance specialists can bring a working view of how regulated technology is built and run to a lecture, seminar series, panel or student society event.
| Area | Topics we can speak on | Courses it often fits |
|---|---|---|
| Software under regulation | Building to HIPAA, CJIS and SEC and FINRA rules; designing for audit evidence; secure development in practice | Software engineering, information systems |
| Security operations | How a 24/7 security operations center works; incident response and the first hour of a breach; identity as the perimeter | Cybersecurity, networks, IT management |
| Data and AI governance | Putting models into production in banks and hospitals; model risk management; privacy engineering and data residency | Data science, machine learning, law and technology |
| Public-sector technology | Modernizing government services; records and transparency systems; procurement and delivery in government | Public policy, public administration, digital government |
| Healthcare operations | Interoperability, prior authorization and patient access; running technology in a hospital | Health informatics, health administration |
| Delivering programs | Running implementations across time zones; change management where rules are strict; follow-the-sun operations | Project management, operations, MBA programs |
What we offer
A speaker matched to your topic, prepared for your audience’s level, who will take questions. We do not charge a fee for academic settings, and talks are not sales presentations.
What we ask
The course or series, the students’ background, the learning goals for the session, the format and length, and whether it will be recorded. Recordings are by agreement with the speaker.
What we cannot do
Our speakers do not discuss clients by name or client incidents, and do not share confidential material. Case examples are anonymized or drawn from public sources.
Joint research
Research collaborations with clear terms
Our Data Trust & Governance Labs and AI Research Lab work on problems that matter to regulated industries: trustworthy AI in production, privacy-preserving analytics, data governance, model risk and security operations. We are open to collaborations with academic groups working on the same questions.
Data access
No client data leaves our controls, and we never use client data for research without the client’s permission and a lawful basis. Collaborations use public data, synthetic data, or data the university already holds under its own approvals.
Intellectual property and publication
Ownership of results, licensing and publication rights are agreed in writing before work starts. We support academic publication, with a short review only to remove confidential information, never to suppress findings.
Ethics and approvals
Research involving people goes through your institution’s ethics review, and ours where relevant. We follow the stricter of the two requirements.
Forms of collaboration
Co-supervised student projects and theses, sponsored research agreements, shared workshops and datasets, and practitioner input to research design.
What to include: the research question, the group and principal investigator, the methods and data you expect to use, the outputs you plan, funding already in place or sought, and your timeline. Research proposals take longer to assess than other requests because they need legal and technical review.
Internship program partnerships
A planned pipeline, not a one-off
Many departments want more than a listing on a jobs board. We can work with you on placements that fit your degree’s requirements and our teams’ needs.
Credit-bearing internships
Summer internships on our three tracks, with the learning agreements, supervisor reports and assessment your program requires.
Co-op placements
Longer placements where your program builds work terms into the degree, agreed term by term with the department.
Capstone projects
A real problem from our work, scoped for a student team, with a Moraph sponsor and fictional or public data where needed.
- Step 1
Request
Tell us about your program, its placement rules and the students it serves.
- Step 2
Fit
Our early careers team checks fit with our tracks, offices and hiring plans, and talks it through with you.
- Step 3
Agreement
A placement or partnership agreement covering supervision, assessment, insurance, pay and data handling.
- Step 4
Recruit
Students apply through our normal process, so they are assessed fairly against the same criteria as every applicant.
- Step 5
Place and support
Each student has a manager and a sponsor, and your program gets the reports it needs.
- Step 6
Review
We review the partnership with you each year and adjust what is not working.
Interns are paid, and every listing shows the pay. A partnership never replaces our application process: students apply and are assessed like everyone else.
How we choose
How we decide which requests to accept
We receive more requests than we can accept. We decide on the same grounds each time and tell you the outcome either way.
Fit with our work
Programs and subjects that match our internship and graduate tracks and the skills our teams need.
Fit with our offices
Campuses near our offices, and virtual formats where they are not, so we reach students who could join us.
Reach
Events and programs that reach students who might not otherwise hear about careers in regulated technology.
Our commitments
What you can expect from us
Accessible events
Accessible rooms and platforms, captions for virtual sessions, and adjustments for any student who asks, at any stage of applying.
Reaching every student
We work with student societies and with our employee resource groups to reach students from under-represented groups and first-generation students.
Honest information
Pay on every listing, a clear account of how we hire, and practice material anyone can use, whether or not they apply.
Respect for student data
We handle student details only as the event’s rules allow, and applications under our candidate privacy notice.
A clear answer
Every request gets a decision. If we cannot do what you asked, we say so and suggest what we can do instead.
One point of contact
Once we agree to work together, you have a named contact at Moraph for that program.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
We are not near a Moraph office. Can you still take part?
Often, yes. Virtual presentations, workshops and guest lectures work well, and many of our roles are hybrid with colleagues in several offices.
Do you pay fees to attend careers fairs?
Tell us any employer fees in your request. We decide case by case and tell you before confirming.
Can a student society invite you?
Yes. Use the same request form and say which society you represent and which staff member, if any, supports the event.
Can our students work on a real client problem?
Capstone and research projects use problems from our work, but never client data or confidential client information. We use public, synthetic or fictional data instead.
Can you sponsor a scholarship, prize or hackathon?
Tell us what you have in mind in your request, with the amount and what it would fund. We consider each one on its merits.
Who decides on research proposals?
Our research leads, with legal and security review. Research proposals take longer than other requests because of that review.
