Hear From our Students
David
Harrow School, UK
"Working under a professor gave me more freedom and independence in decision making and where I wanted to take the project. The expertise also meant that I could always have ideas reviewed and concepts clarified, something that helped remove restrictions imposed by the limits of my own understanding."
Eden
Good Hope School, HK
"I’ve always wanted to have a taste of what research is like, and CRI gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. Research is also a great chance for me to learn more about a specific topic of interest, which is why I’ve decided to produce a research project."
Richard
Auckland Grammar, NZ
"Many of the universities I have applied to, their coursework contains a research project and I think this experience is going to help me adapt a lot better to the university environment than some of my peers who haven't done research before. It's something your school won't be able to provide you with."
