Research groups at UCL -
Many research groups at UCL welcome undergraduates to work on research projects during the summer vacation.  This is a great way to gain an insight into
research experience, and can be extremely useful for students who may be considering a PhD application. The  summer vacation following the second year
of your Natural Sciences course is a good time to gain this experience.
You can make direct enquiries by looking at the web-pages of departmental research groups or discuss it with your Stream Rep and personal tutor.
