UROPs are an opportunity for Cambridge undergraduate students to spend a period of time over the summer assisting with research activities taking place across the spectrum of University Departments.

The scheme is open to any Cambridge University student provided that they have at least one full academic year of their undergraduate course to complete.

UROPS usually have a 10 week duration and there is a busary payment at the rate of £230 per week.

For background information, including the application procedure, FAQs and a list of projects offered last year see the UROPS homepage.

Students in Parts IA-IIA will be alerted when the initial list of projects offered for summer 2016 is posted and further projects will be added as staff propose them.
