Nuffield Science Bursaries
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 and development, including areas of technology, engineering and maths.
Placements are offered to students in Year 12 studying science, technology, engineering or maths. Through the scheme, students get the opportunity to work alongside practising scientists, technologist, engineers and mathematicians in the workplace. Placements are STEM based projects, lasting 4 weeks, in universities, industry or research institutions during the summer holidays.
Who is eligible to apply?
Anyone in the first year of an Advanced or Higher STEM course (KS5) 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.
