WORK EXPERIENCE
Nuffield Science Bursaries
The scheme
Nuffield Science Bursaries offer up to 1000 funded places a year, so that students across the UK can get an insight into the world of scientific research.
The bursaries are offered to first year post-16 science students in England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
The scheme helps students to take part in science based projects, lasting 4-6 weeks, in universities, industry or research institutions during the summer holidays. Students work alongside practising scientists.
Who is eligible to apply
Anyone in the first year of an Advanced or Higher science course may apply. This includes vocational as well as academic courses.
The projects
Unlike work experience schemes, students carry out projects which are well defined from the start and have an outcome that is achievable within the time available and which will make a contribution to the work of the host organisation.
