The establishment of a multi-disciplinary undergraduate research internship scheme at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan)

Presentation from the Higher Education Academy Annual Conference, 22-23 June 2010.

Undergraduate internships are common in the US; in the UK, however, opportunities for students to work with researchers are much more limited. This project aimed to create a multi-disciplinary internship scheme having a range of available projects with a common framework and real research outputs.
