Summer Vacation Studentships

The Biochemical Society's Summer Vacation Studentship scheme funds 6 week summer placements for undergraduate students in biochemistry and related subjects.

In 2023, we will be offering studentships in four areas:

• Programming skills

• Research (laboratory based and/or computational biology/bioinformatics based projects)

• Scientific publishing

• Public engagement and science communication

Find the key information, criteria and eligibility for each of the studentships on the pages below.

Please note: You can apply for up to two Biochemical Society studentships in 2023. If both applications are successful, you will only be awarded one studentship and you will be asked to indicate a preference during the application process.
