Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS)

What is the URSS?

The Undergraduate Research Support Scheme provides funding for students to undertake a piece of original research under the supervision of or in partnership with one of our academic members of staff usually over summer break. It is a competitive, university-wide scheme and we encourage History Department students to apply.
