Guidance for after a UROP has concluded

Personal development
  • UROP encourages you to write a brief technical report on your work, if this was not already a pre-requisite agreed with your supervisor. This will benefit your supervisor, as well as yourself, to place on record what you did.
  • It is also reasonable for you to ask your supervisor to write a brief report on your efforts for your personal use (and perhaps for incorporation with your academic record in your home department). Such a report can be extremely valuable when your [home academic] department is called upon to give you a reference.
  • Undertaking any research experience should also end with an opportunity for you to reflect upon your experiences and achievements. Therefore, all students are encouraged to submit a Student Perspective to their supervisor and the UROP scheme. The UROP scheme will then post a selection of "perspectives" on this website. Please see the Student Perspectives TAB.
  • Certification: You may obtain upon request a statement of attendance for your UROP research experience from the UROP team (urop@imperial.ac.uk). This also applies to after you have left.
  • Imperial College students (ONLY) can consider the Imperial College Award .
  • Imperial College students (ONLY) can also use the tools on the Imperial College Careers Service website to consider how best to improve their employability. Please note that the Careers Service is not accessible to UROP participants who are not Imperial College students.
