In the knowledge-based global economy, in-demand skills include the ability to think and reason critically, develop innovative ideas, analyse data and clearly explain results.
Research Experiences are coordinated by Student Enrichment and Employability Development (SEED) in conjunction with University of Queensland (UQ) research units and provide an opportunity for motivated UQ students to engage in an educational research activity.
During the program, students will team up with some of the University's leading academics and researchers to participate in research-related activities for a selected project. In doing so, they have the opportunity to progress and apply their degree-specific knowledge, whilst developing valuable research and professional capabilities.
