Developing next generation leaders in environmental science
The NERC Envision DTP Research Experience Placement (REP) scheme encourages undergraduates undertaking quantitative subjects outside of NERC remit to consider careers in environmental science. During a REP, an undergraduate joins the hosting organisation for between 6 and 10 weeks to complete a short-term research project within the environmental sciences. We offer up to three summer placements per year. Projects are open to undergraduate students from across the UK.

Funding of up to £2,500 is available per REP to cover the National Living Wage and a contribution towards research and training expenses of up to £500.
