The BVS programme provides promising undergraduates from underrepresented groups with hands-on experience of research during the summer holidays with the aim of encouraging a career in research. Students must be registered on a relevant undergraduate course in the UK or Republic of Ireland. Examples of relevant subjects include science (biomedical, natural, computing or physical sciences), medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, engineering, mathematics and psychology.

One of the key aims of the BVS is to provide research opportunities for student groups that are currently underrepresented in postgraduate research. To this aim, UCL and Wellcome want to encourage undergraduate students outside of the Russell Group to apply to the scholarship.

I would like to ask you to advertise this fantastic opportunity within your network to reach as many potential applicants as possible. We at UCL highly value all applicants and do not want to limit this opportunity to our own current undergraduate students.


More details on the target audience for the scholarship can be found on UCL’s website. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/health/academic-c ... holarships
