Placement students
Our research and applied husbandry placement programmes have been tailor-made to enable students to gain experience in a wide range of techniques. The 10-month voluntary placements have been designed to work within university undergraduate industrial year programmes and to provide students with the opportunity to put theory into practice.

We accept visiting researchers, of all levels, who wish to carry out independent study within our sites. We are also happy to support research by filling out questionnaires and providing samples.
