About the Undergraduate Summer Research Scholarship Programme
What is in it for me?
Generating the evidence that you use on a daily basis to improve health outcomes and care experiences for the groups we service is core to modern heath care professionals. This is an opportunity for you to get hands on experience with supportive teams, develop practical skills as well as give you a head start with your research modules.
Over the course of 6 weeks, the student research summer scholarship will allow you to work closely with your supervisor to give you the opportunity to expand and strengthen your research knowledge and skills including data collection, analysis, technical skills and academic writing.
You will have the opportunity to meet with other undergraduate students in the school who are also participating in this scholarship.
When do the Scholarship start and for how long?
The Scholarships will start mid-June and will last for 6 weeks.
The SNMHS Research Administrator will confirm a start date that suits you in June 2026 and will put you in contact with your supervisor. Prior to commencement of the scholarship, you will receive communication from the Research Administrator on instructions to completing your pay roll set-up form, desk allocation & to answer any questions you may have.
