How we make research relevant to you
During the summer, you can apply to work on a project of your own through our Undergraduate Research Support Scheme.
The scheme provides you with living expenses and the opportunity to work on research with an expert in their field.
This is great if you are thinking of postgraduate study, or you’re keen to add something distinctive to your CV.
