CETL-AURS Home

Welcome to the Centre for Excellence in Applied Undergraduate Research Skills (CETL-AURS), one of four Centres for Excellence awarded to the University of Reading by HEFCE to promote excellence in teaching and learning in Higher Education.

The aim of CETL-AURS is to put scholarship and enquiry at the centre of the learning environment by integrating research-based learning into the undergraduate curriculum.  CETL-AURS focuses on building on the existing excellence in research-based learning at Reading and in supporting further development and innovation in new areas.

The University of Reading is one of the United Kingdom's leading research intensive universities, a major contributor to the knowledge economy and internationally recognised for excellence in teaching. We aspire to produce graduates who have developed skills and knowledge of life-long value, have the confidence and enthusiasm to fulfil their personal ambitions and seek to make a difference in the world in which they live.
