SSERC co-ordinates the Research Placement and Experiences Programme which offers S5 pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to participate in a 2 week research placement in Summer 2025. Placements can be in universities or in industry and can be in any STEM related subject including social sciences and geography. Pupils apply for a placement and we will help match them to most appropriate one.
