Application Form | Mearns Castle High School

The Online Application System for Nuffield Research Placements 2018 has now opened. This is slightly later than normal due to our online application system re-development.

The Nuffield Research Placement Scheme is aimed at the current 5th year pupils/students who will be sitting their Highers in 2018 and who are studying any Science, Technology, Engineering and/or Maths (STEM) subjects at that level (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Geography, Computing, Home Economics/Food Technology, Psychology, Music Technology, Product Design, Technological Studies etc.).

We are also now placing students into Social Science placements where there is an aspect of analysis, statistical investigation and mathematics involved, so the placements are very wide ranging.

Closing date is – Tuesday March 6th 2018

OPEN TO S5 PUPILS ONLY

The University of St Andrews is one of ten UK universities which facilitates the Sutton Trust Summer School: a unique summer programme for S5 pupils, provided free of charge. As a participant, pupils will gain an insight into life as a first-year undergraduate through attending academic subject strands taught by leading experts. Subject strands often combine two or more areas, allowing pupils the chance to explore a range of possible courses and develop key academic skills before committing to university study. Pupils will also receive valuable advice on making UCAS applications, as well as on finance, careers and accommodation options.

Applications close on the Thursday 8 March 2018 at 5pm.

All teacher verifications must be submitted by 5pm on Thursday 15 March 2018.
