Summer 2022 Remote Option

The 2022 program will be offered remotely. Explore the world from home this summer with our remote summer undergraduate research program. Research projects are conducted through the University of Auckland and facilitated by host university professors. Research supervisors will review student applications for their project and then rank the applications they are willing to accept. A Skype interview with applicants may be arranged to determine placement. Students enroll in one research course (15 Auckland credits), which usually transfers as 4 U.S. credits.

Students will meet with their research supervisor and other students working on the project regularly throughout the six week program. Examples of work students can expect includes archival work, gathering and reviewing historical documents, writing bibliographies, summarizing material, and conducting interviews. The research supervisor and the student will create a detailed work plan at the start of the program to discuss what the student will need to achieve during the research period to receive credit.
