In order to be eligible, interns must have access to either: a three month extension to their PhD maintenance stipend, or funding for a three month placement integral to the programme . MRC-funded applicants should apply via our specific AMS/MRC internship scheme. The scheme can also be undertaken in the three month period immediately following the end of a student's PhD funding coming to an end.

Timing of Internship The 2026/27 internship scheme will run four times: from July 2026 - September 2026, October 2026 - December 2026, January 2027 - March 2027 and April 2027 - June 2027.

Download application form. A short covering letter briefly describing their reasons for application. A CV. A short article, of no more than 800 words in length, on a medical science policy topic. Applications should be submitted electronically and must be received by COP 11 May 2026. Interviews will be conducted on week commencing 25 May 2026. Please direct further questions to Jessamyn Briers: If you experience any technical difficulties with the form, please get in touch with Camelia Avramescu, People Assistant: . Placements on the scheme are allocated on a competitive basis so withdrawal from the scheme once a place is accepted is likely to result in another potential intern being denied the opportunity to participate.
