The Amgen Scholars Program provides undergraduate students with a fully funded, hands-on research experience at the University of Melbourne, working on a project for 2 months and connecting with a community of like-minded peers.
To be eligible, you must be an undergraduate student enrolled at an accredited college or university across Oceania, have completed at least 2 years of a bachelor's degree in a scientific field, and have a weighted average mark (WAM) equivalent to 75% (GPA 3.2) or above in relevant 1st and 2nd year subjects. Indigenous students with a WAM of 55% or above are also encouraged to apply.
Research projects are available across a variety of scientific fields, including fungal genetics, amphibian disease and conservation, gene-environment interactions, genetic analysis of epilepsy, metal-organic frameworks, tissue regeneration, and more. Scholars will work closely with a mentor in their chosen lab on a full-time research project.
The University of Melbourne is proud to be the only university in Oceania to host the Amgen Scholars Program, providing students with a unique opportunity to gain world-class lab experience, connect with an international community of scholars, and explore the vibrant city of Melbourne.
The Amgen Scholars Program is designed to prepare students for a career in scientific research, providing hands-on experience, mentorship, and the chance to present their work at a final symposium. Participants will develop valuable skills and expand their professional network, setting them up for success in graduate studies or research-focused roles.
