Cambridge Amgen Scholars must agree to:
- be resident in the designated College accommodation for the duration of the programme (scholars will move to Clare College for the symposium)
- undertake an 8 week intensive research project in one of the participating laboratories
- if necessary, apply for the appropriate visa (with assistance from programme staff) in a timely fashion
- assign any intellectual property that results to their supervisor in the first instance
- participate fully in the academic life of that laboratory, attending any relevant research seminars and workshops
- attend all Skill Training Programme events, including weekly seminars - it is the scholar's responsibility to speak to their Project Supervisor and arrange time away from the lab if necessary
- participate in the Social Programme
- provide feedback on the Amgen Scholars Programme at Cambridge, to help us ensure we're meeting the needs of the scholars
- contribute to Amgen Foundation media requests
- prepare a presentation to give to their fellow scholars and academics toward the end of the programme (full guidance provided)
- prepare a poster presentation on their work for the annual symposium (full guidance provided)
- participate in the annual symposium for all European Amgen Scholars, held in Cambridge.
- comply with the programme's disciplinary code
Given the intensive nature of the programme, Amgen Scholars will be unable to undertake other work or study at the same time. Applications from students not planning to be present in Cambridge for the full duration of the programme will not be considered.
