Expand your horizons beyond the classroom with Get Published! This program invites students from all departments to explore their interests through research. Join the University Student Research Conference at Oxford Brookes to showcase your work via posters, engage with visitors, and gain valuable insights.

Participating in this unique undergraduate opportunity cultivates crucial skills like effective communication, confidence, and professional networking. Additionally, you'll receive support to present your research at the British Conference of Undergraduate Research. Each year, two outstanding students are selected to present their findings to a prestigious audience at the Palace of Westminster in London, including MPs, staff, and students from 20+ universities.
