Nuffield Research Placements at Armagh Observatory

Nuffield Research Placements offer up to 1000 funded places a year, so that students across the UK can get an insight into the world of scientific research.

The Nuffield Foundation offers bursaries to first year post-16 science students in England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, helping students to take part in science based projects, lasting 4-6 weeks, in universities, industry or research institutions during the summer holidays. Students work alongside practising scientists.

Each summer, the Armagh Observatory hosts between 2 and 4 bursary students, in projects ranging from the construction of new instruments, observations of variable stars, the analysis of comets to the study of light pollution.

Who is eligible to apply

Anyone in the first year of an Advanced or Higher science course may apply. This includes vocational as well as academic courses.

The projects

Unlike work experience schemes, students carry out projects which are well defined from the start and have an outcome that is achievable within the time available and which will make a contribution to the work of the host organisation.

How to find out more

Contact Sentinus, the regional co-ordinator for Northern Ireland, to register your interest and choose one of two ways to set up a placement:
