Now the association is holding its research awards in September for University of Bradford students on a science-related course.

All entrants will have a chance to present their work at the ABS Scientific Symposium, held in September, which will be attended by academics and researchers from a series of scientific fields.

The deadline is June 1, with results available from June 26.

Submissions should be made by students of the University of Bradford.

The research topic for this year’s award is Complementary medicine and alternative therapies. Views on teaching roles and advocates including regulation.
