Getting Involved in Research as an Undergraduate
Opportunities at McGill
Departments and individual researchers at McGill offer various opportunities for undergraduate students to get involved in research. These arrangements may be voluntary or remunerated by academic credit or income.
Some are formal programs that you can find more information about in the eCalendar at Faculty of Science > Undergraduate > Undergraduate Research Opportunities:
- Research Project Courses

Others come about through informal discussions between students and professors.

Beyond McGill
You may also want to look for opportunities funded or offered by external foundations or institutions, research agencies, other academic institutions, or scholarly societies. Examples include: a provincial cancer research society, the science funding agency of another country which you wish to visit or where you hold citizenship, research hospitals or universities in another city, or an international psychological association.
