Learn through research or entrepreneurship

The Office for Undergraduate Research is your central connection to faculty-mentored research opportunities across all disciplines at the University at Buffalo. As a leading research university, UB offers a dynamic environment where you can discover projects, secure funding to support your work, and engage in inquiry that deepens your academic experience.

Work closely with faculty mentors to explore questions, contribute new knowledge, and grow through hands-on research and creative activity. Share your work at the annual Celebration of Student Academic Excellence Showcase or at regional and national conferences. Along the way, you’ll join a vibrant scholarly community, one that supports your curiosity, recognizes your accomplishments, and helps you turn experience into discovery.

UB can help fund your research project and assist you in getting the experiences and skills you’ll need to compete for national and international research awards and scholarships.

How do you find the right job or internship? Whether you’re looking for full-time or part-time opportunities, on-campus or off-campus, you can count on the Career Design Center for advice and connections throughout your search.

Internships offer you a hands-on way to extend your education.
