Q Step summer research placements

The Q Step placement scheme offers a wide range of paid summer research project placements, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).

The placement scheme is a great opportunity for undergraduate students and leading academics/research staff to collaborate on a live research project hosted within one of four faculties or at one of our partner organisations.
