Science Summer Schools/Work Experience

[Leeds2]

I have read on here previously about some sort of summer school/work experience/scholarship type thing for students at the end of lower sixth who want to study science at university.

Could someone remind me what the scheme is called?

Thank you!

What particular area of science there are many summer schools aimed at different science careers?

DD is interested in biochemistry, but the thing I am thinking of was some sort of scheme offered by, I think, different companies throughout the UK and students applied for the ones they were interested in.

I am annoyed I didn't write it down when people were discussing it ...

Possibly Nuffield www.nuffieldfoundation.org/nuffield-research-placements

Also look at the Headstart programme

Thanks. Will have a look.

Ds did headstart in summer between yr 12 and 13 but i think its too late to apply for this summer.

Ds is doing Headstart this summer - the offers came out in about March, I think.

Lots of unis do taster days and master classes
