More Information
I liked working as a team to discover new ideas and theories and learning new techniques along the way. The bursary certainly made me consider my future career path and confirmed that I really wanted to pursue science later in life.

Science Oxford Next is the Oxfordshire co-ordinator for the Nuffield Science Bursary Scheme, a national initiative which enables students in their first year of an advanced or higher-level STEM course to carry out a 4-6 week project during the summer holidays in an area of science or technology that interests them. We provide about 25 placements each year in local research organisations and companies for students to apply for and successful students get the opportunity to work alongside practising scientists and engineers with access to state of the art equipment.
Students receive an educational grant of £80 a week while working on the project and gain valuable insight into the way scientific research and technological development is carried out.
SETPOINT Hertfordshire covers projects in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes – please e-mail admin@setpointherts.org.uk for more information.
