Sparked is the Science Network's mentoring programme for final year students hoping to enter a career in science when they graduate.
Whether you're applying for a PhD or hoping to embark on a career in industry, Sparked will equip you for the unique opportunities and challenges that come with being a Christian working in the sciences. You'll be mentored by older Christians currently active in research, who have years of experience living out their faith in their academic context. Mentoring takes place in a small group setting via twice-termly Zoom meetings, culminating in a two-day conference in June. Each year we accept 8-12 final year students onto the programme.
I wish something like this had existed when I was a student!
Applications for 2021-22 are now closed. Applications for 2022-23 will open in the summer term.
