URSS Skills Programme for Arts Students
Getting started on your Summer Research Project
The Faculty of Arts offers a comprehensive skills programme to support Arts students taking part in the 2023 Undergraduate Research Support Scheme. You can find a list of all events taking place below.
We have also created a Teams channel for all 2023 URSS participants in the Arts Faculty where you can ask questions, share ideas, and get advice. Keep an eye out for your emails as well, as we'll send around newsletters.
