Course Overview
|
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. |
|
Course Aims
|
Nuffield Science Bursaries offer funded places each year, so that students can get an insight into the world of scientific research. The aim of the Nuffield Bursaries is to give students the opportunity to work alongside practising scientists, contributing to the host organisation's areas of research and development. Successful students are awarded a bursary of £80 per week by the Nuffield Foundation the project must take place over a minimum of four weeks or a maximum of six weeks during July and August. |
