Program Structure
Student Research Program is developed at two levels:
1. At a college level: Student Research Club
Where core training on research like proposal writing, selection of faculty mentor, research project writing, research project implementation, reporting results and writing scientific articles are carried out under the supervision of a College Student Research Club/Unit.
At this Club, students are invited to participate in on-going faculty research projects or develop their own projects. Close mentoring and support are offered by assigned faculty mentors who help and support students to go through the research process. The club supervises students recruitment, training, faculty mentors assignment, technical support and as a liaison with the Student Research Program at the University level.
2. At a University level:
The student research Program at the University level offers:
- Physical space for student researchers to work, meet and discuss their work with their peers
- Organize and provide training courses on research design, databases navigating, referencing, data handling and analysis, statistics, public speaking and scientific writing.
- Help in publishing, posters design, proof reading, ethical approval requests
