Overview

The Premium Research Fellowship Program sets itself apart from the Research and Publication Program in following aspects. Firstly, it includes comprehensive publication support for your final research paper. Secondly, it extends over a longer duration, allowing for a more in-depth research exploration and thus higher quality work. Thirdly, it offers almost double the contact hours with your dedicated research mentor. If you're aiming not just to produce and publish a paper but also to publish a high-quality research paper in your chosen field, the Premium Research Fellowship Program is the ideal choice for you.

Students entering our research program aren't required to have a well-defined research question, although some may. For all students, we anticipate that your research question will develop and become more precise as you engage with your research mentor. Your mentor serves as a guide for steering you toward the most productive path. We anticipate students will finalize a research question by the end of the first month, refining it with the guidance of their research mentor.

If a student wants to change their research topic late in the program, they should assess the feasibility of addressing the new area within the remaining time and create a plan with the research mentor to execute it. If it's not possible, they can proceed with the agreed-upon topic or explore an extension of the program. For any concerns, discuss this issue with the research mentor asap. 

Following the completion of the program, your mentor will provide a grade for your research paper along with a brief evaluation. Many students discover that their mentor gains valuable insights into their academic abilities. So, it is OK to request a letter of recommendation. While it is entirely appropriate to request a recommendation letter from your mentor, keep in mind that they are not obligated to provide one. Their decision may be influenced by your performance throughout the program.
