On-campus research internships for exchange students of the University of Michigan-Flint

Summer semester 2024
Are you looking for a meaningful internship experience with a research team in a chemistry, biology, or physics lab?
We are pleased to offer a special opportunity for students, developed as part of our university partnership with the University of Michigan-Flint.
Our departments of Chemistry, Biology, and Physics offer a wide range of exciting research projects. Whether you're interested in discovering new materials, exploring ecosystems, studying atmospheric sciences, synthesizing new compounds, analyzing the chemistry of food, or investigating the effects of substances on cells and diseases — you'll find a project that's right for you.
Broaden your horizon and get involved in current projects in Chemistry, Biology or Physics!
