Some new perspectives from those UROPs undertaken during the last summer (2024) will be added here during November. Imperial's UROP scheme is always grateful to those students who are prepared to share their experiences.
Introduction
Many students who have undertaken UROP have fed back to the scheme about their experiences.
Whether you are a current or prospective undergraduate of Imperial College London or a student from another UK university we hope you find these stories both informative and inspiring!
Firstly: you can listen to Rea on the Imperial College Youtube channel talk about her UROP experience in the summer of 2021 (search "Rea explains UROP").
Hopefully Rea's thoughtful insight into her experiences will have whetted your appetite to hear more feedback from UROP participants. You will find below a number of perspectives (indicating the subject area of the UROP). You are encouraged to read those in disciplines other than your own since perspectives focus on the UROP process (finding, securing, undertaking and reflection) rather than the technical detail of the research.
You can read about some 2024 UROPs undertaken in the Dept of Materials: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/256054/imperial-materials-students-reflect-their-summer/
You can learn much which is insightful from those who have taken part. Below you will find a number of perspectives written by students who have undertaken a UROP over recent years.
Please note that during the summer of 2020 most UROPs were undertaken on a remote basis due to the pandemic, while since the pandemic relented UROP experiences have been more of a mixed mode operation (some wholly campus-based; some wholly remote and many a bit of both) with a significant move back to on-campus experiences from the summer of 2022.
