The British Antarctic Survey welcomes students who wish to gain both hands-on and virtual experience in a scientific research environment while studying.

We run a number of schemes for students at various stages of their education:

Virtual Work Experience programme (under 18s)

EDI internships

Undergraduate research experience summer placements (REPs)

Virtual work experience programme

Our 6-day programme, open to UK-based students only, offers an opportunity to learn about the variety of roles contributing to the delivery of world-class scientific research as well as logistic and operational support in the polar regions.

The aim of the programme is to

provide students with an opportunity to relate their school studies with scientific research and potential careers

increase their understanding of the diversity, inclusion and supportive practice within STEM

provide them with opportunities to communicate with a range of polar professionals in order to expand their network.

This experience is an opportunity for students to learn more about themselves and explore what they enjoy doing.
APPLY FOR THE BAS VIRTUAL WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMME HERE
The programme is run in collaboration with the team at Creative Tuition, a charity providing free tuition, extracurricular workshops and personal development support to pupils from low-income backgrounds, marginalised and underrepresented communities. The aim of this experience is for students not only to learn about polar research, but to learn more about themselves and the careers they want to have throughout their lives.

Many young people struggle to access traditional in-person work experience, especially those from harder to reach areas or from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Through our Virtual Work Experience programme we remove the twin barriers of cost and geographical location for young people from schools and colleges across the UK and abroad. This enables more young people to engage with us and learn about environmental science, marine engineering, polar operations and logistics.

It also allows us to increase the number of placements they can run to accommodate a more diverse range of young people from everywhere in the world.

Although this is our main work experience scheme for under 18s, we hope that we can still offer some on-site placements outside of this virtual work experience programme. This will depend on the availability of personnel during the summer season. Those requests should be sent separately to workexperience@bas.ac.uk.

Update on 2023 programme

EDI Internship opportunities

The EDI internship programme was introduced in 2021 to further promote and enhance opportunities within the Polar science community to under-represented groups, especially people from racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ community and people with a disability.

We are currently looking for funding options for further internships for financial year 2022-23. As one of our interns, you will find yourself immersed in an opportunity that will help you develop scientific knowledge as well as valued skills and key experiences which may include: data collection and analysis, project management, report writing and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI).

All internships will be paid at pro rata rates from an annual starting salary of £20,129.

For further information and to stay updated on our latest news visit  www.bas.ac.uk , follow us on   at @BAS_News or subscribe to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/BritishAntarcticSurvey
I'm ready to apply, what do I do next? Keep an eye out on BAS social media channels and our recruitment pages for new internship opportunities.
Undergraduate Research Experience Placements (REPs)

Frequently asked questions 🤔

I have a question about my application or programme eligibility

When will I hear back if I have been successful with my application?
Once you have applied for your programme, you will receive a confirmation email. You will be notified about the outcome of your application via email at least 3 days before the programme start date. Good luck!
Can I apply to multiple programmes?
Yes, you can sign up to multiple programmes with us. The live talks will be available as recordings, so you can catch up on any potential clashes.
Who can take part in the programme? (Age limits, some programmes have location constraints but most don't etc.)
Most of our programmes require students to be in school/college. Some programmes require students to be based in specific regions of the UK, this is stipulated by the organisations themselves, and is not defined by Springpod.

However, the ages mentioned on our programmes are more of a guideline than a strict limit. As such, we more than welcome older students to apply as well!

I have a question about my assignment

How long does it take for assignments to be reviewed?
Assignments can take up to a week or longer to review and be marked complete. Rest assured, it will be reviewed soon and your certificate will be generated once your programme has been marked as complete.
What do I do if I upload the wrong file?
If you make a mistake when uploading a file, please email hello@springpod.com. We will be able to make a note on our system. Don't worry, the outcome of your programme will not be affected by this.

I have a question about the programme dates, deadline or workload

I won't be able to complete the programme, can I have an extension?
There is no specific cut-off deadline for completing your programme (although, if possible, we would encourage you to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions).
When does the programme start?
Our programmes have various start dates, you can find the exact date on the programme website page. These are available here: https://www.springpod.com/virtual-work-experience/search

You will be notified if your application has been successful, 3 days before the programme start date.
What happens if I can't finish the work experience in time?
All programme material will remain accessible after the end date of the programme. Students can continue to work through their programme after the official end date. Although, if possible, we would strongly encourage students to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions.
How long will I have to complete this programme?
There is no specific cut-off deadline for completing your programme (although, if possible, we would encourage you to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions).
How much work is required for these programmes? (Will I be able/should I complete more than one programme at a time)?
There is around 10 hours worth of work in total, spread across a two week period. The live talks will be available as recordings, so you can catch up on any work whenever possible.

The live talks will take place during weekday working hours. However, all live talks will be available as recordings and the courses can be completed at your own convenience. Once you have access, you can view and complete the material as and when you can, within the time frame of the course in question (for example, within a two week period). In total, there is around 10 hours worth of work. There is no specific cut-off deadline for completing your programme (although, if possible, we would encourage you to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions).

I have a question about the live talks

What happens if I can't make a live talk/webinar?
All live talks will be available as recordings. You can access these at the same link used to access the live event. So don't worry if you can't attend a live webinar, a recording will be available for you to access through your programme within 24 hours of the live event finishing.
What software is required for the live talks?
We use a piece of software called BigMarker. It is a cloud based video hosting software. It requires no installations or downloads on your end, and will provide everything you need to join the live webinars through one simple link.
Will I be able to ask questions/do I have to have my microphone on?
You will have a chance to ask questions at the end of each webinar. These questions are typed out and then read to the presenter by the host of the live talk. There is no need to speak, and all student microphones will be muted for the duration of the live webinar.

I have a question about the certificate
