Vacation Bursaries

UCL participates in the EPSRC vacation bursary scheme. Awards are normally calculated to reflect the recommended weekly stipend and consumables allowance.

Proposal Criteria

  1. The proposed project must be within the EPSRC funding remit.
  2. The student must be enrolled on a first UCL undergraduate degree programme within the EPSRC funding remit, and should not be in their first or final year of study.
  3. Projects must have a clearly defined outcome and may not form part of a student's degree programme. Proposers should think in terms of the bursary providing the student with opportunities to explore and obtain research experience.
  4. The student must meet the EPSRC eligibility criteria by the end of their degree.
  5. Proposals must be submitted by named UCL academic staff members.

Proposals will be assessed against the: (a) technical quality of the proposed project; (b) quality of the experience that will be offered to the student; (c) academic potential of the student.

Proposal Format

Proposals should be in the form of a one A4 page case for support (single-sided), containing an abstract and workplan. The duration of the project (weeks - minimum 4, maximum 10) should be specified, along with (costed) requests for any specialist equipment, or consumables. The project supervisor(s) and student should be named. A minimum font-size of 10pt, with top and side margins of no less than 1cm should be used. A (short) student CV should be appended.

Award Conditions

Awards may pay a maximum stipend of £220/week.
