REP Projects 2025

Introduction to Research Experience Placement (REP) Projects

We are pleased to present a selection of Research Experience Placement (REP) projects designed to offer undergraduate students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in academic research. These placements span a variety of disciplines and are hosted by experienced research teams across our institution. Each project provides a unique chance to contribute to ongoing research, develop valuable skills, and explore potential pathways for future study or careers in Environmental sciences research. We encourage interested students to review the project descriptions carefully and apply to those that align with their interests and aspirations.
