About the Nuffield Science Bursary Scheme
The Nuffield Science Bursary Scheme provides an opportunity for a number of Year 12 students to spend a month during the summer at the Institute. During this period they work alongside, and under the supervision of Institute scientists carrying out defined projects with achievable outcomes, that contribute to the work of NIMR.
