Physics summer research scholarships
Summer Research Scholarships aim to provide talented physics, engineering and maths students with an opportunity to experience research based activities at the School under the guidance of distinguished research staff.
Scholarships are available in all of the School's nine departments provided that an appropriate research project is available. For an indication of the type of research projects that can be undertaken in the School, please see our list of potential projects. Actual summer projects will be tailored to suit the student and the time available.
