Summer Placement
University of Notre Dame students have an opportunity for a three credit Summer Research placement at a complimentary lab in the University of Galway. The placement will give students the chance to undertake a range of hands-on tasks under the guidance of a faculty mentor and professional researcher to gain expertise in laboratory and analytical techniques using contemporary technologies.
Students will critically read relevant literature, discuss concepts and results with mentors, and prepare a formal final report detailing their research experience. These international placements provide an excellent opportunity for students to gain international work experience and participate in cutting-edge research. Accommodation will be at NUI, Galway’s Goldcrest Student Accommodation and there will be a cultural summer programme led by Notre Dame Kylemore included which will enrich your summer placement experience through learning of the history, politics and creativity of the West of Ireland.
There are four areas of research available where the student will be paired off with a PI.
➔ Biomedical Engineering
➔ Civil Engineering
➔ Cancer Research
➔ Environmental Science/Engineering
