LSE GROUPS, now in its seventh year, offers undergraduates an exciting opportunity to do original research. See below for details on GROUPS 2017.
LSE GROUPS/Imperial Horizons 2017
Want to find out how knowledge is created? Maybe understand the processes underpinning your degree subject? Perhaps build up your group and team working skills? Even get a taste of the life of an academic researcher…
Then join LSE GROUPS/Imperial Horizons in 2017 and discover something new!
Work on an authentic research project – one that you and your group have chosen and designed from scratch! This is an immersive, engaging and a unique learning experience and offers undergraduates an exciting opportunity to do original research and present it to your peers.
In this innovative collaboration, staff and students from both LSE and Imperial College will work together investigating complex contemporary issues.
Below you can watch a film that we commissioned to document the experience of students who took part in GROUPS last time around:
Be part of LSE GROUPS/Imperial Horizons and work with a mixed-discipline, cross-institution group. You’ll meet every Tuesday, 16:30-18:30 from 17 January to 14 March. Not only will you be devising a research question and carrying out a literature review, you will collect and analyse data, and present your findings. Imperial and LSE supervisors will be supporting you along your academic journey.
Get new perspectives, meet new people, and put your own studies in an interdisciplinary context.
Some of our GROUPS alumni recently won the prestigious Booth Prize at the LSE Research Festival, for presentation of their work in GROUPS 2016. Below are some quotes from previous participants in GROUPS:
‘LSE people provided very helpful analysis on causation and correlation .... Imperial people had a good grasp of the quantitative side of things and had more focus on scientific rigour. The diversity of students in the group also made for supporting sources and research in more diverse places.’
‘Freedom to choose what to study. Greater independence. Learning by doing. More contact time than undergraduate studies!’.
‘LSE GROUPS was the key factor that drove me to pursue my own research with an undergraduate dissertation, so thank you very much for your work on that project and for providing me with my first opportunity to conduct academic research!’
Closing date for applications is Friday 2 December 2016. Please complete the form below if you want to participate in the New Year. Don't miss out!
