EPSRC Vacation Internships
The University, in conjunction with EPSRC, has a number of summer vacation internship awards available for undergraduate students. The vacation internship scheme gives undergraduate students a taster of what it is like to do research. The students are given practical, first-hand experience of working on and carrying out research in a UK university. The awards are aimed at Home/EU undergraduate students in the middle years of their degree programme (i.e. have completed their 2nd year of study on a 3 year degree course, or have completed their 2nd or 3rd year of study on a 4 year degree course) who are undertaking their degree in a subject that falls within the remit of EPSRC (https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/research/ourportfolio/).
