Spend eight weeks experiencing life as an interdisciplinary scientist with our Wellcome Biomedical Vacation Scholarship programme Applications for Summer 2025 will open in December 2024. Enjoy science but not sure if a career in research is for you? Our Wellcome Biomedical Vacation Scholarship (BVS) programme provides undergraduates who are interested in a career in science, with an immersive experience embedded in a research group associated with the Integrated Cell Mechanisms (iCM) PhD programme at the University of Edinburgh. We especially encourage applications from talented individuals from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds who would find continuing into postgraduate study a challenge for reasons other than academic ability. Our Wellcome BVS programme is closely associated with the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology and will provide lab-based experience and training for budding scientists in the application of quantitative methods to understand the inner workings of cells. Exploiting technological advances to transform our understanding of cellular mechanisms will require scientists who have been trained across the distinct disciplines of natural sciences, engineering, informatics and mathematics. The Summer Internship Programmes address this training need and will help prepare participants to be successful in a variety of PhD programmes. Wellcome Biomedical Vacation Scholarship UK students will gain experience and training to enhance their career in science. This article was published on 2024-06-17
