As UK is a Research I institution, UK undergraduates have access to outstanding research and creative scholarship activities led by world-class faculty and staff. By pursuing mentored research and creative scholarship, UK undergraduates can immerse themselves in projects to gain experiential “hands-on” learning that is translatable to real-world skills.
