Ready for Research

Ready for Research prepares you to do research — from finding a research question and approaching a supervisor, to preparing an application for a UREX Summer Studentship.

The Ready for Research badge program will prepare you to confidently participate in research within your undergraduate studies. It consists of ten synchronous and asynchronous online modules, allowing you to choose between various learning activities to match your personal interests. Participating in this course will help you discover undergraduate research opportunities on campus and create a plan to get involved with the research you are truly passionate about, enriching your undergraduate experience.
