Summer Vacation Studentships

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

We offer 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 and application form for each of the studentships on the pages below.

Please note: You can only apply for one Biochemical Society Studentship in 2024.
