Before you decide to take on any students please refer to the follow ing guide on departmental policy:

ERASMUS Scheme

Project students via the ERASMUS scheme - there is a well established procedure and this should be dealt with via the ERASMUS Project Coordinator (Dr Errikos Levis) 

UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme)

UROP provides an opportunity for students who have yet to graduate from their masters degree to participate in real research. Because they are 'tasters' for research and are not a part of a degree programme (for which fees would generally be liable) it is critical to avoid conflict with the requirements of our own students, e.g. they should only be carried out outside term time.

The department has to restrict the number of projects it accepts under this scheme each year, especially experimental projects. Priority is given to students from the Department and we do not normally accept students from outside the College. Supervisors must have the funds to cover bursary payments if any and all associated experimental costs. All requests require HoD approval and applications should be sent to Siân Haynes.
