What is the RES?
This Scheme allows students in the department to apply to work with academics in our department on specific research projects that the academic is running.
You may not be the only student working with a particular academic. Depending on the research and the projects that are available, some academics may recruit two or three students.
The Scheme is a great opportunity for you to develop your research skills and potentially learn how to carry out experiments, or how to manage and assess data. These highly transferable skills are relevant for both a career in research and non-academic employment.
These placements also meet the criteria for a Big Essex Award unit, which showcases the skills you have developed at the University.
