UROPS - How to begin?
Ask yourself the questions below before you begin:
-
Can you commit yourself to 6-10 hours of UROPS research per week?
-
Can you afford the time away from your regular workload?
-
Can you work on a project for one or more than one semesters?
If your answers to the above are yes, you would need to decide on which areas of research you want to pursue and which skills you wish to develop.
The projects available are entered by the supervisors and you could view them at the
