Undergraduate Research Support Scheme

If you are looking to get research experience over summer then a project through the Undergraduate Research Support Scheme is worth looking into. Projects are typically 6-10 weeks long and many academics will already have ideas for research that undergraduates can get involved in. Find an area that looks interesting to you and ask research staff or lecturers working in that area. If you have any questions, look out for talks about URSS and internships in the PhysCafe schedule.

On this page, some students have written about their experiences from their projects. There are also some useful links for finding out more about URSS and a brief description of the application process.
