At York we aim to give our undergraduates a solid background in research, encouraging them to develop their research skills throughout their studies, working in labs and with skilled research staff. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, students can contact research faculty directly.
We also encourage students to apply for summer research bursaries through the BPS and EPS. These bursaries allow students to spend several weeks gaining experience in one of our world-class research groups. Interested students should contact the member of faculty with whom they would like to work well in advance of the advertised deadline. Information about other summer bursary schemes is available through Student Finance. The department will also alert students to new funding opportunities as they arise.
