Nuffield Research Placements: could you supervise a sixth form student?
01 Feb 2017
This summer, the University is looking for staff to host sixth formers participating in the Nuffield Research Placement scheme
Last year, the University was proud once again to have hosted more students than any other institution in the UK. In 2016, almost half of these opportunities were offered to students who met our widening participation criteria.
Nuffield Research Placements are a fantastic way of working with talented young people from local schools and colleges who have a strong interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths (STEM) or quantitative Social Sciences and giving them an insight into research as a career. There are more details on the scheme below.
We are now looking for staff who would be willing to host a Nuffield Research Placement in summer 2017.
If you are interested in offering a project for 2017 or would like more information on how it works, please e-mail roz.webster@manchester.ac.uk who will put you in touch with the Regional Coordinator, Sarah Fenton.
