The annual Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) in astronomy & astrophysics at the University of Toronto is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students in astronomy, physics or engineering to prepare for a career in scientific research.
Throughout the program students have the opportunity to:
Experience what a career in research is like by independently conducting a project related to on-going astronomical research at U of T
Collaborate with U of T astronomers
Improve their research writing and communication skills
Learn about research being conducted at U of T
Participate in U of T public outreach
Students work with astronomers from the Dunlap Institute or the David A Dunlap Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics (DADDAA) depending on their research interest, choice of research project, or supervisor.
