    Nuffield Bursary Scheme 2012!
    Hi

    I'm at school in Northern Ireland and I applied for the Nuffield Bursary Scheme by the deadline of February 17th 2012.

    The induction/welcome evening is on the 28th May and I was wondering if anyone within the UK had been confirmed onto the scheme yet?

    Starting to wonder if I haven't been successful - I haven't received confirmation yet and its getting closer to the induction evening

    thanks!

    Hi, I've been offered a project. However, I wasn't told about the date of the induction yet. May I ask where did you get this info from?

    Thanks

    Hi

    Our teacher emailed our co-ordinator who told us it was most likely to be the 28th, although that date could change.

    Could I ask what region in the UK you applied from? I haven't heard of anyone in Northern Ireland who's been successful yet

    Thanks!

    I applied for anything Biology related- there is a Diabetes Research Lab close to where I live so I was hoping to get a placement there.

    Ideally in University I want to study medicine, so I hoped to get a project as biology based as possible; what have you applied for?

    Hi

    I recently received an email to say I was successful in my interview and that I have been offered a placement, I was so chuffed .
    in the email it just said that the induction day was to be some time in May, but i was not given the actual date.

    Email them again to clarify that you have been successful for your region and see what they say.

    I've emailed my co-ordinator, and she replied yesterday saying that each applicant should be informed by the end of May, which is reasonably reassuring.

    I don't think we're required for an interview? :confused:

    My friend and I managed to get a place! I think we were the only two from our school who applied - it wasn't very well publicised and I'd found out about it independent of school anyway.

    Any news from Northampton, Leicestershire, Nottingham or Derbyshire?
    I'm suprised how late they have been with getting back to us.
