First edition · 2026
Research starts with a question
Build the confidence to begin
Research can feel difficult to enter when the process, expectations, and opportunities are unfamiliar. The bootcamp makes that first step more approachable, guiding members from a clear research question to work they can communicate and share.
Across practical sessions, participants will explore how to find and assess sources, choose an appropriate approach, document their work, and understand the routes available to student researchers.
One programme, from research foundations to sharing your work with the wider community.
