Co-ordinated by UCLan's Centre for Research-informed Teaching, students were drawn from subjects across the arts, sciences, health and business to work on a huge variety of projects for a period of up to ten weeks. The undergraduate research initiative, funded by HEFCE, is playing a leading role in the work of UCLan's Centre for Research-Informed Teaching. Leading the Centre, which is more generally examining the UCLan interface between research and teaching across all disciplines, is Professor Stuart Hampton-Reeves. He said the initiative was proving as popular as ever among students and staff alike. "Once again undergraduate students from courses across the University have grasped the opportunities to gain their first taste of academic research," he explained. "Our academic staff have played a crucial role by supporting the scheme with potential projects and nurturing our students with their research ambitions. "Several interns have produced research conclusions that have led directly to the inclusion of papers in leading, peer-reviewed journals. For me, that is the ultimate ...
