3 RWTH Aachen University UROP RWTH Aachen University a ten-week research summer school for undergraduate students from North American universities Experience high-level research at RWTH s state of the art research facilities Database contains more than 150 research projects German language classes on four different levels, workshop introduction to research, intercultural training, student buddy program and extensive culture and leisure program 30 scholarships for top students from partner universities

4 RWTH Aachen University UROP International testimonials It is an amazing opportunity to grow as a person and as a scientist. Allison Hill, University of Saskatchewan Going overseas for an entire summer to see Europe while building a really strong resume point by doing international research is the best thing that I ever could have hoped to do in one summer. Andrew Hudson, Carnegie Mellon University Yes, I couldn't recommend it more highly. This program has changed my life. It is so ideal. It's wonderful in itself to live in Aachen for a summer (which is a beautiful city) and get to work on a project that is career-relevant. But UROP is unique in that you get to experience this internship with 40 other students and make lasting friendships along the way. Stephanie Dimitroff, McGill University UROP was a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and learn new lab techniques and meet a ton of amazing people. I would highly recommend this to anyone as an amazing opportunity for personal and professional growth. Dayna Schultz, University of Saskatchewan Photo: Martin Braun
