Real-world research experience

Hear from our students

“I enjoyed the work environment the most...

 not only has it allowed me to establish contacts with amazing people in the field of academia, it gave me a clear insight into what it would be like working full time in research."

"I had only interacted with professors before so I always felt overwhelmed by academia and researchers in particular."...

This made me get second thoughts whenever I thought of going into research.  This GenRes experience has made me consider PhD and continuing research a lot stronger.
