RWTH Aachen University UROP International testimonials “It is an amazing opportunity to grow as a person and as a scientist.” Allison Hill, University of Saskatchewan “Going overseas for an entire summer to see Europe while building a really strong resume point by doing international research is the best thing that I ever could have hoped to do in one summer.” Andrew Hudson, Carnegie Mellon University “Yes, I couldn't recommend it more highly. This program has changed my life. It is so ideal. It's wonderful in itself to live in Aachen for a summer (which is a beautiful city) and get to work on a project that is career-relevant. But UROP is unique in that you get to experience this internship with 40 other students and make lasting friendships along the way.” Stephanie Dimitroff, McGill University “UROP was a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and learn new lab techniques and meet a ton of amazing people. I would highly recommend this to anyone as an amazing opportunity for personal and professional growth.” Dayna Schultz, University of Saskatchewan
