Did you miss our Research Careers Week?
We’ve recently hosted our annual research themed week, focusing on both careers in research and further study options.
In addition to hosting a range of events and workshops throughout the week, we also put out some themed tweets & blogs, not to mention the 2019 UROP Showcase.
Here’s a round-up!
Research week blogs:
Thinking of the buildings on campus like Edith Morley might make you think of getting lost in a maze of corridors, but did you know this building, like many on campus are named after famous researchers throughout the University’s history?
Love a Ted Talk? We’ve found 6 talks to help get you started thinking about research and research careers.
Did you know that UROP offers undergraduates the opportunity to gain experience in research? Find out what one of the students on the programme had to say.
Considering returning to study after you’ve been working for a while? Campus Jobs have provided this handy blog!

So proud of my @UniRdg_UROP student Katie as she presents the research project we worked on this Summer- taking our nutrition escape game to local schools. The UROP scheme is such a great opportunity for students to learn about research & for ECRs to learn how to be supervisors pic.twitter.com/sdN2Vvm7vI
