Natural sciences Student Competitions

Natural sciences competitions reward rigorous research in biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics and earth sciences. Many are affiliated with international science olympiads, journal publication programmes and research institute fellowships. Student researchers have published peer-reviewed papers, received conference invitations and secured laboratory placements as a direct result of competition participation. These competitions signal to PhD supervisors and grant committees that you conduct independent research at a professional standard, opening pathways to funding that are otherwise only available post-graduation.
