Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE)

SURE is a summer programme that supports around six undergraduate students from the University of Leicester to undertake a six-week research placement in one of our world-class physics research groups. Projects are advertised near the start of the spring term, with applications due before Easter, and notification of successful candidates soon after.  Preference is given to Leicester undergraduates in the third year of a four-year course. The summer internship has flexible start and end dates, and interns will be expected to present their research findings to the School at the end of the summer.  Projects will be advertised via the School Blog.

University Ambassadors

We also offer opportunities for students to become ambassadors for the department, helping at Open Days and Offer Holder Days. Departmental ambassadors meet with visitors and prospective students, give tours of the department and demonstrate some of the teaching facilities.

Scholarships

The University of Leicester offers a wide range of scholarships and bursaries. You can find the details of these financial support options on the University website.
