Summer Research Projects

The 2024 Summer Research Scholarship Scheme is now live.

Research Scholarships provide support to selected middle-year undergraduate students who wish to pursue summer research projects alongside academic supervisors, allowing an opportunity to experience a research environment and hopefully stimulate an interest in pursuing further postgraduate study and research. 

Take a look our Research Scholarships and Expeditions website to find out more about the summer research projects and expeditions undertaken by previous participants. 

For more information about the funding available to support summer research projects email: vacation-scholarships@ncl.ac.uk

Expeditions

As a student, you can benefit from our 50-year track record in expeditions.

Do you want to organise an expedition next spring or summer?

Newcastle University is particularly keen to encourage those organised by students to carry out research at destinations outside the UK.

We have a proven record of this kind of activity stretching back over 50 years. We are currently recognised by the Royal Geographical Society as one of the leading UK universities for student expeditioning.

Find out more about how you can apply for funding and take part in expeditions.
