Wellcome Trust Bachelor’s Studentships

The Wellcome Trust Bachelor’s Studentships are prestigious awards designed to support undergraduate students who wish to gain hands-on research experience in biomedical sciences, health, or related fields. These studentships provide funding for a summer research project, typically lasting 6 to 8 weeks, allowing students to work alongside leading researchers in world-class institutions. The program aims to foster early interest in research careers and equip students with valuable skills. Eligible applicants are usually in their penultimate or final year of an undergraduate degree, though some institutions may consider first-year students. The funding covers a stipend, research expenses, and sometimes travel costs. To apply, candidates must secure a placement with an eligible research group and submit a joint application. Selection is competitive, based on academic merit and the quality of the proposed project.
