About BCUR
The British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR) is a multidisciplinary event that brings together undergraduate researchers from all disciplines. This provides a distinctive environment for sharing research that is rarely found in any other conference settings.
BCUR is open to undergraduate students and recent graduates from any country, provided the work they present was undertaken during their undergraduate studies.
Following the success of previous BCUR editions, including BCUR 2026 organised by the University of Glasgow, BCUR 2027 will be held at Queen Mary University of London and hosted by the Queen Mary Centre for Undergraduate Research, from the 22nd - 23rd April, 2027.
