ISAC/M is a free widening-participation work experience programme for sixth form (year 12) students run by the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) and the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit (MBU), in association with St Catharine’s College.
The programme aims to open the world of university scientific research and inspire students who are curious about science and research as a future career. It is designed for those who may have reduced opportunities, or have perceived barriers to application and entry to Cambridge and other universities, which may be more limiting than their potential and actual abilities.
Now in its third year, ISAC/M has proved popular with students. Here's some of the feedback we have received:
“I feel much more confident about applying to study a STEM subject at university, than I did before the programme”
“The ISAC/M programme exceeded my expectations, as the lab work was absolutely brilliant, and also the chance to talk and meet with some of the world's leading researchers”
More information and a link to the application form can be found here
We look forward to welcoming a new cohort in February.
