Overview
Experience Postgrad Life Sciences offers paid 8-week research internships, in partnership with Corpus Christi College, to undergraduate students in their penultimate year of study at a UK or Republic of Ireland university.
The programme in 2025 will run from 14 July – 05 September 2025. Participants will need to arrive on 13 July.
This is a fantastic, financially compensated, and supportive opportunity for talented students who might not otherwise feel they can easily access summer research opportunities to:
- be part of a research team and get hands on research experience;
- develop a range of transferable skills (e.g., computational, presenting, etc);
- meet and interact with fellow interns, postgraduate students and research staff;
- learn how to prepare competitive applications for postgraduate study;
- build lasting partnerships with peers and mentors.
All within a progressive and nurturing environment – training our future confident, skilled scientists.
This scheme aims to widen participation at the University of Cambridge, by using positive action under the Equality Act 2010, where appropriate, to tackle the underrepresentation of certain groups. See our eligibility criteria for more details.
