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 2022, two separate placement schemes were offered in laboratories at universities and in industry as well as online-only placements.

The lab-based scheme involved a 6-week lab placement, providing students with hands-on experience of laboratory research. The computer-based scheme focussed on skills development, involving online courses and skills-based webinars, equipping students with analytical and computational tools useful for their career progression and graduate school applications. 

Details of the 2023 scheme will be coming soon.
