Vertically Integrated Projects
Education with an edge
Are you a student looking to boost your employability as part of your degree? Are you an academic staff member keen to explore research-led teaching? We welcome you to explore Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP): the modules with a difference!
A Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) is an ongoing research project led by an academic supervisor and made up of a team of students from any level of study (the ‘vertical’ aspect). The team of students can come from different subject areas with diverse backgrounds and skills across both arts and science.
Students can earn credits and receive a grade for the project. They may be able to remain on the project for several semesters if this can be accommodated in the curriculum.
You are invited to the Discover VIP conference on 15th April!
We welcome everyone to our annual Discover VIP St Andrews conference on Wednesday 15th April from 1-4 pm in the Students' Association. This conference is open to all current VIP students and staff, prospective students and staff, and anyone curious about the programme! For more information and to book your place, please see our PDMS page to book: Discover VIP Conference - PDMS - University of St Andrews
