We can offer all MBChB students (who meet the criteria below) the opportunity to apply for one of nine available research internships at EHU this summer (2025). This has been funded by NIHR’s Integrated Academic Training (IAT) Programme. If you want to know more about these offers, please contact the ICATO team.

About the internship placements

The internship placements will be four weeks in length, and interns will receive a stipend payment of £1,776 part way through the internship.

The dates for the summer 2025 internships are to be confirmed.

An internship assessment group will consider applications on a case by case basis.

To be eligible for consideration for an internship placement, you should:

  • Be an Edge Hill University MBChB student.
  • Have no outstanding professional concerns.
  • Have passed all summative assessments in the current academic year.

Timeline for applications

Information regarding the application cycle for summer 2025 internships is to be confirmed.

Placement projects

Each 4-week internship will have a defined work plan of what is to be achieved.  Although some projects will be standalone pieces of work, others will be parts of wider, more long-term studies. As long as related contributions meet journal guidelines, co-authorship may be appropriate on future publications.  These discussions should be held with the named supervisor. 

We are currently underway with compiling a list of projects to offer for summer 2025. Further information is to follow.
