University of Alberta Research Experience (UARE)
Program Information
The University of Alberta Research Experience (UARE) provides a unique opportunity for talented senior undergraduate students from key partner universities around the world to conduct research under the supervision of faculty members who are experts in their fields.
We are proud to offer the ability to contribute to life-changing research in a wide variety of disciplines at a Top 5 university in Canada.
Students gain hands-on research experience working under an expert in their academic discipline and receive an award of $6,000 CAD from the University of Alberta, which will help cover the costs associated with participating in the 12-week program.
Research placements are typically available to start during the winter (January) and summer (May through July). Exact start dates depend on the host professor.
