Placements and Internships
Placement and internship opportunities for students are available within medical research and are commonly advertised directly on company websites. For inspiration we have compiled a list below of companies who offer placement schemes. Please note this list is not exhaustive.
Companies offering student placements or internships often establish strong links with Universities in the UK and opt to communicate details of upcoming placements to university students directly, for example Bath and Cardiff Universities.
Applications for full year placements usually open in November and often involve an assessment day typically including a competency interview, technical interview and a group exercise.
If you are interested in undertaking a placement and have any questions, or are an organisation that offers placements and would like to add your details to our website then please contact us.
Below, you can listen to placement students from the 2020/21 intake talk about their experience in two episodes of the Effective Statistician podcast. Topics included their motivation for doing a placement year, skills and knowledge gained, and the impact of the ongoing COVID pandemic. The students also share their recommendations and tips for anyone thinking of doing a placement year.
The first episode concentrates on the statistician role with the following students taking part:
