Undergraduate Research

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) is a Fifth Row activity that allows undergraduates to explore their research interests and participate in different phases of standard research activity which include, developing research plans, writing proposals, conducting research, analysing data and presenting research results in oral and written form.
