MREM project reports

Topics to reflect students’ learning

MREM students are required to complete a comprehensive report during their final term at SRES, reflecting what they've learned during their degree. They present their findings both in writing and orally during a seminar day that is open to the public. Ideally, these final reports are based on activities undertaken as part of the student’s internship placement over the summer.  Below is a sampling of some past reports.
