Undergraduate Research Opportunities Scheme (UROS) 2014
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Scheme is designed to encourage undergraduates to become involved in the research work of the University, thereby contributing to that work, and developing their own research and transferable skills. Student Bursaries of up to £1000 are available to support projects that will normally be completed during the summer vacation. Applications are submitted collaboratively by the staff and students participating in the project.

Fund for Educational Development (FED)
The Fund for Educational Development (FED) aims to support the implementation of the University’s Student as Producer initiative by enabling innovative curriculum redesign projects. Funds of up to £1500 are available, and projects should result in publishable case-studies which will serve as exemplars for practical interpretation of Student as Producer principles within disciplines.
The fund is open to all members of staff and students from all parts of the university. In keeping with the principles of Student as Producer, project bids should demonstrate active collaboration between staff and students. Staff may use project funds to pay bursaries to students for their participation.
