Apply now for a 2026 RMS Summer Studentship!
Applications for this year's RMS Summer Studentship scheme are now open!
Up to six Studentships of up to £2000 each are available for undergraduates undertaking summer projects with a significant element of microscopy.
Studentships are an excellent way of gaining invaluable experience that might not be available as part of a student's degree programme - or an opportunity for them to research further into something that has sparked their interest.
The scheme is intended for undergraduates at the end of their second year of study (or third year if it is a four-year course). Students who are in their first or final year are not eligible.
The Studentship is offered on the understanding that a 500 word project report is completed by the student at the end of the period of study and submitted for publication in the RMS infocus magazine. Students are also asked to submit a short video briefly talking about their experience for the Society's YouTube Channel.
Applications deadline: 31 March 2026.
