Amgen Scholars Programme

The Cambridge Amgen Scholars Programme offers undergraduate students from across Europe the opportunity to take part in an eight week research project within one of the laboratories at the University of Cambridge.  

2025 Cambridge ASP Dates: 7 July - 29 August 

Accommodation will be provided at a Cambridge college; scholars will live together at the college throughout the programme. 

Alongside the day-to-day lab work, the programme also includes a Skills Training Programme including weekly evening seminars. In recent years topics on this programme has included sessions exploring different scientific careers, applying for graduate education and on how to prepare and present scientific posters. 

We also offer a variety of social activities throughout the programme.

European Symposium

The symposium will take place immediately following the summer programme, in early September. Cambridge Scholars will be joined by Amgen Scholars from the other four European Programme sites. The symposium will take place in Clare College, and all meals and accommodation will be provided during this period. Attendance at the Annual Symposium is obligatory for those accepting a place on the Amgen Scholars Programme.

Amgen Scholars Programme

The University of Cambridge is delighted to continue to participate in the Amgen Scholars Programme and to welcome scholars from universities across Europe.

Amgen Scholars at the University of Cambridge will have the opportunity to work alongside our experienced faculty members, including some of the world's top academic scientists. They will gain hands-on laboratory experience, and actively contribute to the advancement of science. We hope that the experience of undertaking research in one of the world's foremost Universities will enthuse our Scholars about a career in scientific research.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the Amgen Foundation.
