Here's what recent studentship participants say about the scheme:
"The studentship scheme offered good work experience which is helpful when looking for a job and the potential to be involved with some interesting projects at the forefront of research in the areas I was interested in which would hopefully be beneficial both in my next few years at uni and afterwards."
"I applied for a studentship to gain
experience and knowledge in the Hydrology field of which I
am very keen to follow.:"
"I really enjoyed doing useful work on rivers that was being used for research and taking part in a number of projects."
"I learnt many new skills and gained
knowledge about rivers and their study. I gained new contacts
and friends. I was able to be involved in research projects
and have a say in them. I was also exposed to the many difficulties
of river monitoring and in particular to the fieldwork I was
involved it the difficulties in accurately recording a river
and its morphology."
"I found the whole experience incredibly valuable and positive…to future students I’d say enjoy, this is a huge opportunity keep your future career in mind in terms of the standard of your work and in making contacts…. Good luck."
"Where else can you work on rivers
half way though your degree at such great depth and be treated
like a fellow river researcher by staff? It’s fantastic!"
