What is REx Prime (REx’)?
The motivation of launching REx Prime (REx’) is to provide undergraduate students who have completed UROP and had not previously upgraded their UROP courses with REx (i.e. UROP+REx), financial support and avenues to explore possible continuation or development of their completed UROP project. REx Prime will be a new initiative by the Undergraduate Education Team at Office of the Provost and is a derivative of the flagship Research Experience (REx) programme.
REx Prime will also be useful for students who complete UROP during special semesters and are thus not eligible to apply for UROP+REx. Upon completing special semester UROP, these students can opt to benefit from REx post-UROP by applying for REx’.
