Undergraduate research is any research-related activity completed during undergraduate years of study. This can include coursework, internships, jobs, or other research-related activities, like attending or presenting at conferences.
Undergraduate research presents a unique opportunity to gain skills in research before commencing Higher Degree Research, such as a Masters or PhD. These skills can include collaboration, presentation, information synthesis, critical thinking, and more.
Getting involved in undergraduate research can be difficult. That’s why we’ve established ‘MURS Careers’ – a one stop shop for helping you upskill and access opportunities in undergraduate research.
Absolutely! Undergraduate research is for everyone, and getting involved in your first year is a great way to learn the ropes. We’ve even seen high school students at undergraduate research conferences!
