URSS: Record number of successful PAIS applicants for 2015
The Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS) is a competitive scheme that provides a bursary and skills development training to support Warwick undergraduate students, who wish to carry out a summer research project, as an addition to their degree course. All students are supervised by an academic member of staff for the scheme.
This year, seven PAIS students will undertake a summer research project of their choosing, either within PAIS or in a different academic department here at Warwick.
In addition, PAIS academics will support eleven research projects, four of these being with PAIS students.
Undertaking a summer research project via the URSS gives students a taste of research, which is invaluable for those who might be looking to pursue postgraduate study. The scheme allows students to develop a range of skills which will add further value to their degree study.
We are delighted that so many PAIS students are involved in the scheme – this high number of successful applicants positions PAIS as the sixth largest department, in terms of the number of successful URSS applicants to carry out research within the department.
Congratulations to all those taking part this year!
