Undergraduates (students who do not hold a degree) are encouraged to investigate the areas of research that suit their interests and contact the MICH member directly to determine if they are accepting summer students. For more information on undergraduate summer studentships, see the Institute Grants and Awards section.

BSc Medicine and Dentistry Students
