URSS: Undergraduate Research Support Scheme

The Undergraduate Research Support Scheme enables Warwick undergraduate students to carry out a non-assessed, self-directed research project. More details can be found here:- Public Engagement and URSS

The project should be between 6-10 weeks, and you will receive supervision from a Warwick academic. URSS projects are usually carried out over the summer between July and September.

You can apply for a bursary of up to £1500 to contribute to your living expenses and other associated costs whilst carrying out your project.

You can do the research in a different department from your home department, and the research topic does not have to be related to your degree course.

You can carry out your project on campus, at home, or, if you are interested in travelling abroad, you can carry out your project outside of the UK. Campus accommodation is available over the summer. For further details see

The scheme is open to all undergraduate students in all faculties, including first and final year students. The scheme is not open to exchange students.
