Applying for Research

  1. Decide what your research purpose is. Do you know exactly what you want to study? Or are you trying to determine what you want to study later on? Don't be afraid to reach out to opportunities in other departments as well!
  2. Apply: At Berkeley, there are many different resources to get research.
    • Attend an event, and meet a professor! (SFL, etc)
    • Cold Email
    • For summer opportunities, go here.
    • URAP
  1. Remember, when you start you aren't expected to know much of anything.
