EMS Student Research Bursaries in Mathematics and Statistics

The Edinburgh Mathematical Society Student Research Bursaries in Mathematics and Statistics provides funding for undergraduate students to conduct research during summer vacation. The program offers £345 per week for up to six weeks, totaling £2070 per award. Students are expected to work approximately 30 hours per week on their research project. The bursary is designed to support students between the intermediate years of their undergraduate degree, typically between years 3 and 4. Projects must be in mathematics or statistics, though interdisciplinary projects with significant mathematical or statistical content will also be considered. The program is specifically available to students registered at Scottish institutions, with research conducted by supervisors at Scottish universities and research institutions. Applications must be submitted by project supervisors on behalf of students, and require departmental approval and confirmation of any match-funding contributions.
