Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) 

UROP is an individual academic research project you would undertake typically over two semesters or during the Special Term* anytime after your first semester, but before your final year. Successful completion of UROP counts as a 4 units of Unrestricted Elective Course (UEC). UROP is recommended if you wish to learn the skills of independent research. You may be supervised by a professor within our Department, or you may choose a project in another department, allowing you exposure to a different engineering discipline.

*Special Term fees apply if you choose to be on UROP over this period.
