Research, writing and referencing
Developing your skills in research, writing, and referencing is a vital part of university study. These skills will not only help you succeed in assessments, they will encourage you to think independently, engage with your subject, and communicate your ideas with clarity and confidence.
Research
Research allows you to investigate topics, ask questions and build your knowledge using reliable sources.
Writing
Writing helps you shape your ideas into clear, structured arguments that reflect your learning.
Referencing
Referencing shows where your ideas come from, giving credit to others and demonstrating academic integrity.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Scheme
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Scheme (UROS) offers undergraduate students funded opportunities to gain hands-on research experience. Successful projects are awarded a student bursary of up to £1000, which allows them to collaborate with University staff on research projects during the summer break.
