Research Interns

The UEL Undergraduate Research Internship Scheme (URIS) was launched during the academic year 2010/11, with the first cohort of interns undertaking their internship in spring/summer 2011. To date the scheme has provided internships for 158 undergraduates, including the current third cohort of 50 undergraduates, who are about to commence their internship.

The scheme offers students an authentic research experience and aims to develop undergraduates’ research skills further and encourage them to see research and post-graduate study as a career option on graduation. Students are given the opportunity to work as researchers and boost their employability skills by working with academic researchers for 10 weeks on a diverse range of research projects from across all UEL schools and service departments with the university.
