What is UROP

Since UROP may be new to you, this section provides insight into research experiences, why academic staff support them and who is eligible. Check out the Case Studies (Student Perspectives) of recent UROPs.

Getting Started (How to get involved)

UROPs occur mainly as the result of individual student and staff interaction so planning an approach to an academic is crucial. This section provides guidance for this important phase (including if a student is responding to an advertised opportunity) plus further information on matters such as funding and, very importantly, how to register a UROP once it has been arranged.

Managing your UROP

Once you have your UROP arranged (and registered) you will want to get the best out of the research experience. This section provides guidance to help you prepare, undertake and evaluate a research experience.
