The programme is run by the Nuffield Foundation and works through regional networks to link talented students with organisations undertaking research. It is a competitive programme and applicants are among the strongest STEM students in their schools.

Nuffield Research Placements have a focus on supporting students who do not have a family history of higher education and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds and reaches more of these students year-on-year. The Nuffield Foundation covers travel costs for all students and provides an additional bursary for those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds.

Providing a placement will give you the opportunity to share your expertise and inspire the next generation of researchers. In addition, our students will make a significant contribution to one of your projects. You can visit the website to see project providers sharing their experience of hosting a Nuffield student.
