2018 uOttawa summer research Program (application deadline 1/2)
Dear all,
the University of uOttawa has provided some research opportunities for NCKU students next summer.
The exchange period will be for 6-8 weeks next year between July to September. The exact dates can be discussed later on. The first step will be to help match you with one of the supervisors. Note that you'll also be competing with other students from other universities.
Please turn in the following documents before January 2, 2018 to Ms. Chen at jjc81@mail.ncku.edu.tw
-Application form
-Curriculum Vitae
-Transcript (English version). Average grade 80 or above.
-Letter of intent (should explain the reasons for the student's interest and outline what you will hope to gain from this experience. Each letter should be addressed to the host-Professor and be tailored to the project description. The letter should also explain how your past experiences and academic background qualify you for this internship). For example, if you are interested to apply Project UO1 and UO2, then you will need to write two letter of intent.
-Other supporting documents (ex. english proficiency scores, recommendation letter, etc)
Funding: minimum 10,000NTD. After the successful matching, we will assist students to apply for other fundings from MOST or the university.
