The application period for Undergraduate Research Support Scheme (URSS) bursaries 2014/15 is now open until Sunday 1st February 2015.

URSS bursaries of up to £1000 are available to all Warwick undergraduate students in any year, from any department and support living costs during a research project carried out over the summer vacation.

Speak to lecturers in favourite subjects (not necessarily in your own department) to see if they have a project you could work on and if they would be happy to supervise you.

URSS can help you stand out from the crowd, by giving you the opportunity to develop valuable skills to transfer to further study and future career, learn to reflect on and articulate your skills and experience more effectively and have your living costs supported whilst you work on real research.

Both you and your supervisor need to complete an online form. Full details are available on the URSS website.

You can watch some videos of previous URSS-funded students talking about their research projects:
