The Faculty is now requesting for applications from FASS students for the 6th Universitas 21 Undergraduate Research Conference. It is hosted by University of Melbourne from 1 – 7 July 2010. The purpose of the U21 Undergraduate Research Conference is “to allow students from around the globe to present their research to a diverse audience of peers, faculty, and mentors, as well as the larger community” and this year’s theme is “Faculty of Imagining.”

You may apply if you are full-time students in your year 2,  3 and possibly Honours year and of any nationality. But if you are graduating at the end of this semester, you will not be eligible. However, please keep in mind that you will be responsible for meeting all immigration requirements for Australia. Students who have previously participated in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) or who have carried out research are especially encouraged to apply. Successful applicants should possess a good command of the English language, are thoughtful and mature in their outlook, and be able to act as effective ambassadors of NUS.
