Undergraduate Research Projects

JYM can help you customize a research project that matches your interests and needs. Whether you are working on your DAAD scholarship proposal, thinking about your senior thesis or simply want to explore a topic of special interest to you, our resident director in Munich will be able to guide you in your research. If you already have a topic in mind, feel free to email Prof. Söder for advice and suggestions.

With approval from your advisor, a research project may also be pursued in conjunction with a European City Seminar or an Internship. When completing your Proposed Schedule of Courses, enter JY 490 Undergraduate Research Project (3 cr).
