Oxford University Museum of Natural History has been a hub of world-leading research since its foundation in 1860. Home to extensive geological and zoological collections, and host to a lively programme of exhibitions and events, the Museum continues to inspire its 750,000 annual visitors, and cultivate public interest in the natural sciences.

The Undergraduate Bursary Scheme is designed to give undergraduate students hands-on experience working in a museum of natural history. The scheme accepts applications from students from underrepresented backgrounds who are ordinarily resident in the UK.

These bursaries are kindly supported by the EPA Cephalosporin Fund and the Carey Family.
