This programme will start in December, after a face-to-face launch and run for approximately six months. Hours may vary depending on individuals' commitments. However, we anticipate you will need to spend an average of about three hours per week on this project (up to approximately 70 hours in total).
You should prepare the content of the application below in advance in order to complete the online application outlining your research proposal. The application cannot be saved so please keep a copy on word separately to avoid losing your work.
Please note that with the exception of Sanctuary Scholars, this ‘widening participation’ opportunity applies only to UK students who are classified as ‘Home’ students for tuition fee purposes. As a UK student, you must meet one or more widening participation criteria to be considered eligible (e.g. you were eligible for Free School Meals, you are in receipt of a Bursary or other means tested financial support, you spent time in local authority care). You must be a current undergraduate or postgraduate taught student to be eligible to apply. Please see the 'student research associate role description' via the link above to read the full list of eligibility.
The applications will be assessed by the reviewers and successful applicants will be invited to attend a 30 minute interview. Invitations to interview will be sent via e-mail by Thursday 27th November 2025. Interviews will take place the week commencing Monday 1st December 2025.
