Summer research opportunities
Our supervisors are offering a range of summer research opportunities to give University of Manchester and St Andrews-Manchester Pathway Medical School students a taste of academic research and our MB-PhD programme.
Students will be able to visit different supervisory teams/lab groups where you will get a valuable insight into the real world of academic research.
All these supervisors will be offering projects to MB-PhD applicants this year, so if you are considering applying for the programme now or in the future, this is a brilliant opportunity to meet the team and to find out if this is the path for you.
See details of the placements available and the supervisory styles: MB-PhD summer placements (PDF).
Please note, research opportunities vary between a one-off visit and/or a longer placement and can take place at dates agreed between supervisors and students.
Read more about last year’s summer placements on the MCRC website.
