You don’t have to wait to graduate to make an impact. Discover what's wildly possible with undergraduate research!
As UK is a Research I institution, UK undergraduates have access to outstanding research and creative scholarship activities led by world-class faculty and staff. By pursuing mentored research and creative scholarship, UK undergraduates can immerse themselves in projects to gain experiential “hands-on” learning that is translatable to real-world skills.
It's like a Career Fair for Research Opportunities!
The Undergraduate Research + Creative Experience Expo will introduce undergraduate scholars to the diversity of research conducted at UK, allow students to network with research faculty and staff, and learn about mentored research opportunities.
