The Summer Undergraduate Research Scholarship program gives current undergraduate students the opportunity to undertake a short research project with leading researchers. Students will develop their research skills, learn how to present research results, and gain an insight into what further research study at UNSW Canberra could look like.
Up to 10 scholarships will be available each summer and can be undertaken in any of UNSW Canberra’s four stimulating and innovative schools:
