Summer Undergraduate Research (SUR) Program

The programme is geared towards undergraduate students at the end of the second or third year of their degree. Students studying any field in the life sciences, as well as those pursuing medical studies are welcomed. UNIL is unique in having a combined Faculty of Biology and Medicine, and we are keen to offer to medical students the possibility to perform research.

Each participant will perform an individual research project in a different laboratory of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine. This programme aims to attract outstanding motivated students from near and far for a research experience that will remain with them for their lifetimes.

Opportunity Focus Areas:

• Life Sciences.
• Medical Studies.

English.

ALL WORLD COUNTRIES.

8 Weeks.

• The Programme will run from July 6th to August 28th, 2020.

• The programme is aimed at undergraduate students who have completed the second or third year of their university degree in any biological or medical field.
• Undergraduate means the first 4 years of university training usually towards a bachelor’s degree.
• Applicants who have completed only one year of an undergraduate degree, or who will have graduated by the time of the programme are not eligible.
• The programme is highly competitive and students are chosen based upon their academic record (typically GPA >3.75 or equivalent, and/or top 5% class ranking), personal statements, and letters of recommendation.
• If your university does not use a 4 point scale, then include an explanation of your grading scale in the online application (under curriculum vitae B).
• Differences in grading scales will be taken into consideration, but you must be in the top 5 % of your class.
• Students of any nationality, studying in any country, are welcome to apply, but should have very good English language skills.
• Students must be present for the entire programme to participate.
