SSERC is delighted to announce that applications for Nuffield Research Placements in Summer 2024 are now open. Nuffield Placements enable S5 pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, or those who will be the first in their family to go to university, to engage in a 2-week summer placement in a university or in industry. Pupils will undertake independent research, guided by mentor, and will produce a report and scientific poster after the placement. They will then can showcase their poster at a Celebration event in September. Placements can be in any STEM related subject, including data science and social sciences.
There is an online info session on for pupils/teachers/DYW co-ordinators on 29th Nov 23. This will help pupils and teachers to understand what a Nuffield Placement is, what will be expected in the lead up to and during the placement and the benefits that taking part will bring. It really is an excellent programme to be part of.
