The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) at RWTH Aachen University fosters research partnerships between qualified undergraduates from top US and Canadian universities and research faculty at RWTH Aachen University. The application deadline is January 31, 2010.
The program is specifically designed for students who wish to attain hands-on experience in fundamental research at one of the top universities of science and technology worldwide. UROP International offers undergraduate students the unique chance to conduct their own research project, thus actively experiencing what research is like at an early stage of their academic career. While pursuing their projects, students are mentored and supervised by a member of the excellent research staff of the host institute at RWTH Aachen University.
Besides obtaining research experience, the students participate in German language training and workshops on intercultural and research-related issues. Leisure activities complete their international experience in Germany. With UROP, students strengthen their (extra-) curricular and intercultural skills and competences, while building up their own network with professional researchers and learning about future career perspectives.
