Vacation student scheme

The Science and Technology Facilities Council offer the opportunity for undergraduate students to gain practical work experience during their holidays.

Students can work for 4 -12 weeks at either the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Oxfordshire), Daresbury Laboratory (Warrington) or the UK Astronomy Technology Centre (Edinburgh) on projects relevant to their intended or current course of study, under the supervision of people qualified and experienced in their chosen field. Many of the students that are placed with STFC find the experience invaluable and develop good working relationships that continue even after their placement has finished.

The closing date for summer 2011 vacation placements has now passed. We will be accepting application forms for summer 2012 vacation placements in March 2012.
