The British Conference of Undergraduate Research

What is the British Conference of Undergraduate Research?

Established in 2011, the British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR) is the largest conference in the UK dedicated exclusively to undergraduate research. The conference meets each year in a different University. All research is welcome, and undergraduates of all years are encouraged to submit papers, to present posters, oral presentations and performances. If you’re unsure whether your work fits, get in touch with BCUR here, or talk to your personal tutor about how to get involved.

Why should I get involved?

This is your opportunity to share your research, engage with students from other universities and disciplines, and to discuss new ideas. You'll have the chance to see how others approach and communicate their research. Your own presentation skills will also be challenged, as you’ll need to consider how to communicate and present your research to a lay audience. These skills will be valuable for your future employability and funding applications.

"BCUR was my first introduction to taking part in conferences and I didn't know what to expect. Since it's a transdisciplinary conference, it allowed me to develop my skills as much as in presenting visually and verbally, as it did in listening meaningfully to others' perspectives. I also gained a friendship from it which continues to this day, two years later." | Ceara Webster, final year Liberal Arts student
