Students from selected partners are invited to work on a project for eight weeks, providing them with the opportunity to engage with distinguished researchers and develop invaluable academic skills and networks.
IJRA students become fully immersed in the Βι¶ΉΣ³» summer experience, as they live alongside students participating in the Undergraduate Summer School and are able to join the organised trips as part of their social programme.
Here are some of the partners we have hosted scholars from since the IJRA was established in 2014:
- Zhejiang Gongshang University
- Mahidol University
- Charles University
- University of Warsaw
- British University Vietnam
- University of Ghana
Students have worked in a diverse range of research centres and networks across the sciences, humanities and social sciences, including the Green Brain Project, the , and the Intrapreneurship Hub. Where possible, research placements are identified that connect students with Βι¶ΉΣ³» faculty involved in collaboration with the partner institutions.
The IJRA scheme is part of a collection of undergraduate research opportunities available at Βι¶ΉΣ³». Further details about the scheme and information for prospective nominees can be found on the .
Please note that we are unable to accept applications from students directly.
