Unlock a Career in Nuclear with a Fully Funded Degree and Guaranteed Job!

Are you interested in a career in the nuclear industry but not sure how to get in?

Great news: promising students now have the opportunity to kickstart their careers thanks to a fantastic new industry-backed initiative.

The Nuclear Sponsorship Scheme is offering 50 students a series of summer placements after each year of their degree – and funding worth £42,000 (£27,000 in university fees and a £15,000 subsistence bursary: £5,000 per year for three years).

So not only could you gain crucial experience of working in the industry – the cost of your degree will be covered as well!

The scheme is means-tested and aimed at increasing social mobility among young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

To be eligible, students must:

1. be from a lower socio-economic background (criteria such as accessing free school meals or household income will be considered)
2. be a UK, Commonwealth or EEA National with the right to live and work in the UK
3. be able to begin university study in a STEM subject in September 2024
4. be able to commit to completing a three-year undergraduate degree and subsequent employment;
5. and be able to commute to Yeovil, Bristol or West Cumbria for 45 days to attend a placement during the summer break.

The scheme is administered by Cogent Skills and applications for the 2025 academic year open soon for more information, email [email protected].
