Student Research Opportunities
Conduct research under faculty mentorship and supervision in almost any discipline, either in Singapore or overseas.
The Summer Research Programme (SRP) enables students to pursue full-time, funded research in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences during the semester break from June to August. The SRP also includes skill-building workshops on abstract writing for research, creation of posters and presentations, as well as effective communication and time management.
Faculty-led research projects provide students with foundational research experience and focused mentorship from Yale-NUS faculty supervisors.
Students with prior experience in research may work with a faculty supervisor to craft a student-initiated research project proposal.
CIPE advisors can provide support to students applying for competitive research programmes and fellowships hosted by external organisations all over the globe.
The Yale College Dean's Research Fellowship is a Yale-NUS partner programme which enables students to conduct original research in science, technology, and engineering under the supervision of a Yale faculty mentor.
The Summer Research Opportunities at Harvard and the Summer Honors Undergraduate Research Program enable students to conduct life sciences research at Harvard University.
Students can apply for CIPE-coordinated research internships in the areas of science, technology, and research (in both science and non-science disciplines).
Students can apply for part-time research assistant positions with Yale-NUS faculty members during term time, and part-time or full-time positions during semester breaks.
The Centre for International & Professional Experience (CIPE) offers opportunities and resources to support students in developing research experience and skills.
The SRP was great to get in-depth research experience and understand how research works in the real world – from conceptualisation to publication. It also greatly built my knowledge in my chosen field of study (psychology) and equipped me with more broadly applicable psychology research skills. Finally, it gave me insight into what it would be like to pursue research as a career path.

If research is something a student is considering as a career path in the future, the SRP is an excellent programme to help them make an informed decision. In the SRP, I was trusted and given responsibility as a research assistant, and had to carry my own weight. This gave me a more holistic experience of what research really entails.

The SRP offers an opportunity to build a relationship with a professor that can be valuable on both a personal and a professional/academic level. It also offers insight into how academics actually go about their work. I appreciated both of these learnings during my SRP.
