Research Tips & Advice
It's always a good idea to start thinking about research opportunities early on in your undergraduate degree, as it can take time to find a research project that aligns with your interests and a professor who is willing to take you on. Here are some tips for gaining research experience in your undergraduate
Learn about the different research programs at the university to find something that interests you. Talk to professors and students and attend research talks to learn about what others are working on.
Once you've found a few professors whose research aligns with your interests, reach out to them. You can do this by email or dropping by during their office hours. Be prepared to discuss why you're interested in their research and how your skills and experience make you a good fit to work with them.
When communicating with a professor, whether it’s over email or in a meeting, make sure you are acting in a professional manner.
Faculty members without listed labs on the Academic Faculty list can still supervise honours thesis students. The same also applies for Adjuncts.
