Nuffield Research Placements
Welcome
to the Nuffield Research Placements Platform
Nuffield Research Placements (previously Nuffield Science Bursaries)
provide over 1,000 students each year with the opportunity to work alongside
professional scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.
We are
delighted to inform you that the application system for the Nuffield Research
Placement Scheme 2017 is now open and we would like you to encourage year 12
students to apply. Students in the first year of a post-16 science, technology,
engineering and maths (STEM) course are eligible to apply.
The Nuffield
Research Placement Scheme can offer your Year 12 students exciting placements
in industry and at local organisations. Undertaking a 4 week placement will
inspire and motivate students and help give them the skills and confidence they
need to get a place at a top university.
The
experience can be particularly valuable to students who don’t have a family
history of going to university, or who come from low income families. We
want more students from these backgrounds to apply, and can offer them
financial support of £80 per week during their placement.
Placements
Nuffield Research Placements (previously Nuffield
Science Bursaries) provide over 1,000 students each year with the opportunity
to work alongside professional scientists, technologists, engineers and
mathematicians.
Students in the first year of a post-16 science, technology, engineering
and maths (STEM) course are eligible to apply. Placements are available across
the UK, in universities, commercial companies, voluntary organisations and
research institutions.
Nuffield Research Placements are administered at a regional level by a
network of Nuffield coordinators.
We particularly encourage students who don't have a family history of
going to university or who attend schools in less well-off areas. We make sure
no-one is excluded on a financial basis by covering students' travel costs.
Some students may also be eligible for a weekly bursary in addition to travel
expenses. Your regional coordinator will be able to advise on eligibility.
Applications for 2017 will open on Monday 24th October
Please see Mr
Taylor or Mrs Jenkins in the 6th Form Office for further information
