Exciting Paid Research Experience Internships Programme at Cambridge for Humanities and Social Sciences Students
Do you know an undergraduate student passionate about humanities and social sciences research? Encourage them to apply for a paid, four-week summer research experience at the University of Cambridge designed to enhance diversity and inclusion in academia.
What the programme is
The University of Cambridge Social Sciences and Humanities Access to Research Experience (SHARE) programme is a four-week paid internship that gives undergraduate students the opportunity to experience postgraduate research in the social sciences and humanities in Cambridge. The University of Cambridge delivers the Research Experience Internships Programme in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University, University of Bedfordshire and University of Suffolk
You will work on a dedicated project, supervised by researchers at the University of Cambridge, University of Bedfordshire and Anglia Ruskin University, take part in research skills workshops and training sessions, receive one-to-one mentoring from current postgraduate students and experience life as a postgraduate in a University of Cambridge college.
The Research Experience Internships programme is designed to:
- Enhance your research skills
- Inform you about opportunities for postgraduate study and research careers in the social sciences and humanities
- Give you the opportunity to engage with inspiring social science and humanities research staff and students at leading regional Universities
- Enhance your ability to make a competitive application for postgraduate courses and funding
Who the programme is for
The programme is offered for undergraduate students from backgrounds currently under-represented in Higher Education, whose undergraduate programme may not have provided significant research experience. There are specific criteria you must meet to be eligible for the programme. In addition, SHARE uses positive action under the Equality Act 2010 to address the underrepresentation of, and overcome the disadvantage experienced by, certain groups. Applicants will be offered a place based on their academic achievement and potential in the context of their education and circumstances to date, as well as the benefit which the programme might provide.
As part of the programme, they will:
- Take part in an active research project
- Develop skills through training sessions
- Connect with leading researchers
They’ll also get to live in College accommodation during their time at the University of Cambridge!
