Undergraduate Research Apprentice

     URA Award(s) will be issued each year to compliment the excellence of research performance of student(s) studying in this department. Any student can fill in the application form to apply ‘Undergraduate Research Apprentice Award’. Students can ask for short reference letter(s) from the investigator(s) whom they have worked with before to backup their excellence in research work. Investigators can base on the actual performance of the individual students to give their recommendation. For students who have worked with other research investigators outside this university, they are also encouraged to apply this award by submitting the same application form with the reference letters from the investigator(s) that they have worked with in other contexts.  All application forms are expected to be submitted to lylo@hksyu.edu before 30 June in each year. The collected application forms and reference letters will be discussed in the departmental research subcommittee meetings in which panel members with different research expertise will come up with a final decision about the championship. Normally, only one applicant will be chosen as an awardee in each year. The final result will be announced in early September in Moodle. If no received applications show excellence in research work or all received applications cannot satisfy the panel members, the award will be suspended in that year.
