Science in society:

Nuffield Bursary Scheme

The Nuffield Schools and Colleges Bursaries, supported by BBSRC via RCUK, offer bursaries to first year Advanced/Higher post-16 science students, helping students to take part in projects in universities, industry, or research institutions during the summer holidays.

The students work alongside practising scientists and contribute to projects in research and development.

Researchers say:
“I think we will get a refereed publication out of this project.” John Innes Centre

“I always find Nuffield students very useful, free pairs of hands! It works both ways. I choose projects that directly contribute to ongoing work and in return the students get experience in areas relevant to their coursework.” Rothamsted Research

Teachers say:
“The experience was excellent and has provided valuable motivation for our students.”

“The student found it very helpful and informative in relation to career choice and the world of work.”
