Research Summer School
The Research
Summer School (RSS) is designed to introduce RCSI undergraduate students to the world of research, serving as an important first step in developing future researchers. The programme offers undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in research projects during the summer months.
In most cases, multiple students are assigned to each project, fostering local, international, and interdisciplinary peer collaboration. Students typically spend approximately eight weeks working on a research project in a non-laboratory, laboratory, or clinical setting under the supervision of a supervisor from RCSI Medical University of Bahrain.
Upon completion of the programme, students are encouraged to submit an abstract to the University’s International Research Day and to prepare and present a poster or oral presentation showcasing their research findings at the conference.

All information regarding the application process can be found in the VLE (click here).
I. Advertised projects
Students can apply for advertised projects. Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet any requirements outlined by the principal investigator (PI) in the project.
II. Student-driven projects
Interested students may approach a PI with a project idea which will be further developed collaboratively. Students with project ideas should identify an appropriate PI by exploring the research interests and backgrounds of available PIs before contacting PIs directly.
