You want to apply to a research program but every time you sit down to start, you don't know where to look, what to do first, or whether you're even on the right track. This session is for students who need clarity before anything else.

What we'll cover:

  • How to evaluate programs and figure out which ones actually fit your profile
  • What research programs are really looking for in a candidate
  • How to build your profile between now and the application deadline
  • How the interview process works and what interviewers are actually assessing
  • How to prepare for research-based interviews — what to read, how to think, how to present yourself
  • Common mistakes students make and how to avoid them

Who this is for:

  • You're in your second or third year of undergrad and feeling lost
  • You've just started exploring research programs and don't know where to begin
  • You've heard about cogsci, psychology, or other research programs but don't fully understand the path

You'll leave with a clear, personalised roadmap — not generic advice, but a plan built around where you actually are right now.
