Listen to Our Students
CHAN Morris
- BSc graduate (Major in Geology (Intensive))
- ORF Participant in Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, The University of British Columbia
"This Overseas Research Fellowship is a precious experiential learning opportunity that I would highly recommend to all science students. It is not merely a research project, but a remarkable journey where you can enrich your personal experiences and discover your own potential."
Morris's experience of participating in Overseas Research Fellowship
"The overseas research fellowship was an incredibly satisfying, enjoyable, and enlightening experience. I had the chance to work with renowned professors in worldwide universities and witnessed the research workflow firsthand. Taking on responsibility for a mini academic research project, I was involved in every stage of work, from preparation to field studies and experiments, then to data interpretations and write-ups. This experience has greatly enriched my understanding of what it is like to work in academia."
ZHAO Christina
- BSc graduate (Major in Physics)
- ORF Participant at Department of Applied Physics, Yale University
"My year-long research experience at Yale was formative. I was extremely lucky to join a research group that shows great support to undergraduate. That’s the best summer I have ever had, and I enjoyed my life there as a researcher."
Christina's experience of participating in Overseas Research Fellowship
"I was given a chance to work on an independent research project with explorative nature. I got to meet with the professor every week to discuss various ideas and techniques related to my problem. During the summer, we met weekly for group meetings and journal clubs, where we share our project progress as well as interesting papers. Being in such a scientific community also allowed me to have engaging conversations about research with other group members on a daily basis, which helped me link cross-domain ideas to my own project."
