Research: A Guide for Undergraduates

Learn about getting involved in research as an undergraduate! 

How do I get started? 

  • Look into the annual research conference for examples of undergrad research on campus 
  • Search through faculty websites to learn more about the research they do 
  • Check out seminars/webinars on the UCD research page 

Ready to get involved? Start planning in three steps: 

1. Advising 

  • Attend an advising session offered by the Undergraduate Research Center (URC) by emailing them at urc@ucdavis.edu. 
  • Drop by the URC for further information. The URC is currently located in Room 2300 of the Student Community Center from 9 am-4 pm, Monday through Friday. 

2. Updating your CV/Resume 

  • Visit the Internship and Career Center (ICC) for help with your CV or resume. The ICC offers in-person and drop-in appointments. Their office is located on the east side of the Memorial Union and is open from 10 am-4 pm, Monday through Friday.
