Quadram Institute: does its undergraduate summer laboratory placement sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Quadram Institute publishes no sponsorship policy for its undergraduate summer laboratory placement, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Quadram Institute is a food and gut health research institute on the Norwich Research Park. Many of its research groups take undergraduates onto research projects over the summer vacation, typically around eight weeks in a laboratory. The Institute says the ideal time is the summer after the second year of an undergraduate course, and that this is particularly useful for students considering a PhD studentship afterwards. There is no central application. Candidates are told to read the research leader profiles, pick up to three researchers and email them individually with a short introduction covering their course, scientific ambitions and why that lab. If a group leader accepts you, you work with them on a grant application. Quadram names the Royal Society of Biology, the Biochemical Society, the Genetics Society and the Microbiology Society as funding ideas for short term placements. No sponsorship position is published.
