The WHRI Work Experience Programme is for sixth form students who are interested in studying Medicine or a Biological/Biomedical related degree at university and are considering a career in a similar field.
This bi-annual programme was established in 2017, benefitting approximately 340 young people to date. We aim to provide an opportunity to gain first-hand experience in laboratory and clinical research at one of the largest clinical and translational research institutes in Europe. In addition, students will have the opportunity to learn about alternative careers within government health-related initiatives and fundraising for healthcare and research.
