Vertically Integrated Projects: Deadline for new VIP’s for 2022-2023

February 15, 2022

Call for new VIP Projects

CHER members may be interested in exploring the possibility of projects centred around higher-education themes.

We are currently accepting applications from potential supervisors who wish to start a new Vertically Integrated Project. A Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) is an ongoing multi-semester research initiative led by one or more academic supervisors and made up of a ​diverse team of students from different levels of study (the ‘vertical’ aspect) who receive credit and grades. The link to the application form is https://forms.office.com/r/GH6DiJ65Jk

For more information, please consult the VIP pages for staff https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/education/vip/staff/ which include important details about the VIP credit structure, teams, syllabus, assessment, training, and funding for staff and students. It may also be valuable to look at the descriptions of our current VIP projects https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/education/vip/projects/.

For projects commencing in Semester 1 or Semester 2 of the 2022-2023 academic year, the deadline for supervisor applications is February 15th, 2022. ​Student recruitment for these projects will open in March.

 
It is recommended that you consult with your Director of Teaching at an early stage about how supervising a VIP would fit in with your other teaching and research commitments.
 
I’ll be very happy to explore opportunities and answer questions.
Best wishes
