The UK has an urgent need for new health data scientists – it’s a rapidly expanding field with the recognised potential to transform the future of health and care for all. Therefore, we are seeking applicants with an enthusiasm to expand their knowledge and skillsets in this area of research and gain hands on experience tackling real-world biomedical and health care research challenges.
Our programme offers a selection of exciting research projects hosted by organisations from across the UK, to be carried out during the summer of 2026. They provide insights into scientific research and the opportunity to work under leading UK academics and clinicians.
For the 2026 programme, we have partnered with host organisations across the UK to offer a range of projects of which full details can be found below. It should be noted that each project will appoint one student only.
Projects are available on a full time basis, ranging in duration from 6 and 12 weeks, in addition to some being offered as fully in-person and some on offer as hybrid. The format of each internship is clearly detailed under the project descriptor so please do pay close attention to these.
The exact start dates are to be agreed upon between the project supervisor and appointed student, but for some projects, an indicated start date has been highlighted.
Whilst full funding for all projects listed is anticipated, please note that it is not guaranteed at this stage. We look forward to receiving your application.
