Our student programmes provide opportunities for students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to develop their skills and confidence in quantitative and scientific methods.
One of the objectives of our work in education is to address the shortage of research and quantitative skills across social science students in the UK and by doing so, encourage higher levels of employability, help maintain the UK’s status as a world leader in research and enable more people to participate fully in a digital knowledge economy.
Nuffield Research Placements
Opportunities for school and college students to take part in STEM-related research.
Since 1962, the Foundation has supported major curriculum projects and the creation of a wealth of teaching resources across STEM subjects and beyond.
Our work in education includes funding research and supporting its translation into policy and practice. The Foundation has supported some 60 major curriculum projects and countless smaller ones.
The largest and best-known projects have been in science and mathematics, but the story goes much wider, covering languages (ancient and modern), design and technology, economics and business, English, history and more.
While we no longer host our entire catalogue of teaching resources, they are still available online on the following platforms. For each subject, you can find an archive of classroom-trialled teaching and learning resources.

The Nuffield Foundation has supported innovation in teaching and learning for over fifty years. The international reputation of Nuffield projects is built on the science and maths projects which went round the world and were translated into many languages.
