The deadline for this year’s Fieldwork Apprenticeships is fast approaching.
Every year we award up to three bursaries of £1,500 each to first year undergraduates to participate in field research. The Fieldwork Apprenticeships aim to give students the opportunity to work for a number of weeks over the summer on a field research project led by an academic member of staff at their university.
Previous fieldwork apprentices have conducted research on a variety of topics in a range of locations, from global water security in Uganda and contemporary pro-glacial lakes in Iceland to the ecological consequences of glacio-fluvial sediment transfer and small scale glacial erosional features in Switzerland.
Applicants must be UK nationals and be in the first year of their undergraduate geography Bachelor’s degree at a UK university.
The deadline for applications is 1 April - apply now.
These awards are supported through the generous donation of John and Anne Alexander and are part of a portfolio of grants, the Alexander Awards, to support and enthuse students from less advantaged backgrounds through fieldwork. The Alexander Awards also support fieldwork through the Geographical Fieldwork Grants and A Level residential field study courses in the UK.
