The deadline for applications for this year's Summer Studentships was 30 March 2025.
Six studentships of up to £2000 are offered every year, split evenly between physical sciences, biological sciences and interdisciplinary projects.
Applications for our Summer Studentships must include a significant microscopy, imaging or flow cytometry component and should be submitted by a suitable host academic on behalf of the student. 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 to the RMS for publication in the RMS infocus magazine and/or the RMS website. The report should be in the form of an abstract with Introduction, Materials & Methods, Results and Discussion and should also include images/data. Students will be asked to do a two to five minute recording briefly talking about their experience for the RMS YouTube Channel.
£1500 should be allocated by the supervisor to the student as a bursary to cover living expenses and up to £500 can be used to cover experimental and laboratory expenses.
The person making the application must be a Member or Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society.
