‌EPSRC Vacation Internships

Applications for 2025 are now open, the closing date for applications is 4.30pm on Monday 10th February 2025. 

The University, in conjunction with EPSRC, has a number of summer vacation internship awards available for undergraduate students.  The vacation internship scheme gives undergraduate students a taster of what it is like to do research.  The students are given practical, first-hand experience of working on and carrying out research in a UK university.  The awards are aimed at undergraduate students in the middle years of their degree programme (i.e. have completed their 2nd year of study on a 3 year degree course, or have completed their 2nd or 3rd year of study on a 4 year degree course) who are undertaking their degree in a subject that falls within the remit of EPSRC (https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/research/ourportfolio/).  The scheme may not be used as a bridge between the undergraduate degree and PhD or other work.  Students currently in their final year who will have completed their degree by the summer and are due to graduate in July 2025 are not eligible for this scheme.  Students must be based on Liverpool main campus (International students’ visas must permit summer placement work in the UK).

Successful applicants will be employed as interns and receive a minimum payment rate equivalent to the National Living Wage for a period of up to ten weeks.
