why research
Develop independent and critical thinking
Researching a topic requires you to ask questions about how things work, what can change, and how things impact the world. It takes you beyond being a “consumer” of knowledge into becoming a “generator “of useful ideas.
Prepare for college
Undergraduate study demands in-depth analysis, application of concepts and independent thinking. Research skills prepare you for rigourous courses and evaluation methods, setting you up for a successful college experience.
Enhance your profile
Universities across the world look for independent work and academic depth in students. Students who have completed a research paper in an academic area of interest indicate their ability to take initiative, as well as to dive deeper into real-world issues in their domain.
