Summer Internships

Each summer the School of Chemistry hosts a number of research internships, with funding from both internal and external sources. These are primarily open to our 3rd year undergraduate students, however the RSC Missing Elements funded internship is open to UK-based UG students also.

School of Chemistry Scholarships

The School of Chemistry is delighted to partner with Afton Chemical and offer a number of fully funded internships through the Afton Summer Internship Scheme. This scheme is intended for undergraduate students in their 3rd year, with projects run in the summer between their 3rd and 4th years.

University of Edinburgh Scholarships

Summer internships offer a great opportunity to gain experience in a research environment, allowing interns to grow in confidence and strengthen their career prospects in the process.
