Undergraduate Summer Research Internships

EPSRC

Award details

The University of Southampton Undergraduate Summer Research Internships are coordinated by Careers, Employability and Student Enterprise in conjunction with the Doctoral College and University of Southampton research groups.

In the past, supervisors may have applied to the EPSRC vacation internships scheme. Please note that this has now been integrated into the Undergraduate Summer Research Internships programme so there is one central application process for supervisors of all faculties.

These internships offer students in the second year of their degree (or the third year for those on an undergraduate course with an integrated masters) with the opportunity to apply their degree-specific knowledge to exciting research projects with the support of an academic supervisor. Students applying to the scheme should not have completed a research internship or a research placement before.

Our research internships are 10 weeks long and include an induction, midway development day and final poster presentation where students will have the opportunity to showcase the research they complete during the programme.

The commencement date for all funded Undergraduate Summer Research Internships will be 24 June 2025, with the final poster presentation being hosted on 5 September 2025.
