Description
Undergraduate research is a signature form of Experiential Learning at UCalgary that allows you to “learn by doing” as you conduct a research project. Engaging in a high-quality research experience should spark your curiosity as you participate in the process of discovery. With thoughtful design and mentorship, undergraduate research can immerse you deeply in a topic while enabling you to take risks, build resiliency by overcoming challenges faced through research, and develop professional skills.

The Ready for Research badge will prepare you to confidently participate in research within your undergraduate studies. This badge is a blend of online and in-person workshops, allowing you to choose between various learning activities to match your personal interests.
