If you are interested in pursuing a career within the STEM fields, then consider applying for a Nuffield Research Placement. 

The placements take place during the summer holiday at either a university or research facility, and you will be working alongside scientists, engineers, technicians or mathematicians, assisting and shadowing the work they are undertaking. 

The placements are open to year 12 students. 

It is a brilliant opportunity for those who are looking to go on to study at university a STEM subject or follow a career in one of the areas. 

The school supports students through the applications, with staff guiding students through how to write the best personal statement for the application, with the best applicants being put forward as a school applicant, also receiving a reference  to go alongside the application. 

If students are not chosen to be put forward by the school, they are welcome to apply individually. 

If you would like to apply for the Nuffield Research Placement, please let Miss Halford or Miss Billingham know (hhalford@burnhamgrammar.org.uk / ebillingham@burnhamgrammar.org.uk) . You will also need to submit a personal statement, no longer than one side of A4, of why you want to undertake a Nuffield Research Placement by Friday January 5.
