Experience Research

Wondering what to do next summer?

Why not experience research with a professor in the Faculty of Architecture?  

Professors regularly contribute to the advancement of knowledge and culture through their research, scholarship and creative activities. To encourage the involvement of undergraduate students in research, the University of Manitoba has established the Undergraduate Research Award. This competitive award allows students to be mentored by a professor of their choice while working as a research assistant for 16 weeks in the summer. Student winners will receive $7,000.00 and gain valuable experience in their field, while professors benefit from skilled support.

The application process requires students to interview two eligible professors, write short summaries of their research, and describe how participating in one of these research areas may advance long-term career aspirations.  

Deadline: February 14, 2022
