An undergraduate summer placement is an ideal opportunity for students who are studying for their first degree (including medical and veterinary students) to gain research/work experience, usually during the summer recess.

Placements are usually available across the full spectrum of the Institute's activities and are offered for three months between June and September.

Many John Innes Centre laboratories welcome undergraduates over the summer period.

Our summer vacation bursaries provide an excellent opportunity to gain first hand experience in an internationally respected laboratory and are particularly useful for undergraduates who may be considering taking up a Masters of PhD studentship after graduating.
