The Sussex Undergraduate Research Office (SURO) is responsible for coordinating all aspects of Sussex's pioneering undergraduate research scheme. We aim to increase research opportunities for undergraduate research within the university, to maximise the value of undergraduate research undertaken at Sussex, and to enhance the recognition and value of undergraduate research at a wider, national level.
JRA Scheme 2022 Welcome Event - Tuesday 7th June (11am-1pm)
Join us for the JRA 2022 Welcome Event. Meet the team and hear from previous supervisors about the JRA journey. Hear more about the training programme. This is a great opportunity to meet other JRA students and hear about their research projects. Questions welcome on the day.
The 2022 Junior Research Associate Scheme launched on Tuesday 8th February and is now open to applications. Watch the recording of the information session for the JRA Scheme 2022 and hear from previous JRA students and supervisors on the benefits of taking part.
These webpages contain everything you need to know about becoming a JRA, and you can also read about other students’ experiences on the external site.
We want the JRA scheme to benefit all students who are enthusiastic about a future in research, and who will carry out a successful research project with merit. We particularly want to make it accessible to students who might not otherwise be exposed to research, or consider a research career.
If you've faced barriers or you're from an underrepresented student group, the optional Widening Participation Statement now allows you to detail any challenges you have overcome. See the FAQs for further details.
