ASPIRE summer studentships

We offer studentships (up to £1,250) to medical undergraduates in Years 1–3, to undertake a four to eight week summer research project.

Please find below details of students who undertook a Summer Research Project by year, and their supervisor(s).

How to apply for an ASPIRE Summer Studentship

Students are expected to complete the application form (typically sent in early March) with support from their supervisor. Please note that requests for project running costs and/or student maintenance (up to £1250) will be considered as long as these are appropriately justified.

Applications will be judged by a panel consisting of clinicians and academics. All applications will be scored on the quality of the project proposal and no preference will be given to the nature of the study being proposed.

Successful candidates will also be expected to provide a final written report and present their findings at the Annual ASPIRE Research Showcase (also funded by the ASPIRE scheme), usually held in November.

Available research projects

The following MS Sway document provides an updated database of ASPIRE Summer Studentships being offered, including project description and potential supervisors.

You can also navigate staff research profiles on the School of Medicine, the School of Life Sciences, the School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering, and the Institute for Global Health web pages and contact researchers whose work is of interest for an informal discussion.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information or wish us to facilitate contacts between students and research groups.
