Nuffield Science Bursaries - Schools and Colleges

What should the student do on arrival?

The student will need a general induction to your organisation including appropriate Health & Safety training, introductions to other members of staff and familiarisation with the project. This will probably require introducing new techniques and tools, and pointing the student to background reading. Warn them that the first few days will be atypical with lots of new things to get familiar with. Set out their working hours and the conduct that is expected of them. Encourage them to ask questions and check their understanding of what you've told them.
