The NUS Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) enables undergraduates at the National University of Singapore to participate in hands-on research projects across various disciplines under faculty supervision. Participants typically commit approximately 130 hours (equivalent to 10 hours per week over 13 weeks), earning 4 modular credits applicable toward their major requirements. The program immerses students in real-world research, promoting critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills through active involvement in ongoing projects. It is available throughout the academic year in regular semesters or special terms, with options for multi-semester commitments in some faculties.
