Five Notre Dame students were selected for and successful completed a Nuffield Research Placement (NRP) over the summer.
The NRP programme “provides engaging, hands-on research projects, where Year 12 students have the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution towards the work of a host organisation through a well-supervised but independent research collaboration relating to an area of science, quantitative social science, computing, technology, engineering or maths (or a combination.).”
These are the students who took part, and the projects they worked on. We'd like to congratulate them all for their impressive achievement.
