Virtual Summer Exchange Opportunity

New Research Exchange Opportunity at Imperial College, London, UK for UTM Physics Students: Summer 2021


Application Deadline: 15 March 2021

Purpose: Research Exchange Studies

The experience of a research exchange visit is invaluable and gives students much more than a normal course can. This student exchange opportunity will have Physics students conducting research at Imperial College in London, UK for 8 weeks in the summer term. Imperial College is, together with Cambridge and Oxford, among the top three universities in the UK. The research performed at Imperial College will be credited to the student once they return to UTM PHY399Y5.

PHY399Y5: This course provides third-year undergraduate students (after completion of at least 8 to 10 credits) who have developed some knowledge of Physics and its research methods, an opportunity to work in the research project of a Professor in return for course credit. Students enrolled have the opportunity to become involved in original research, enhance their research skills and share in the excitement of acquiring new knowledge and in the discovery process of science.
