Summary:In this paper, we describe a method we have employed at the University of Bristol to improve the undergraduate project experience. We describe the methodology we employ, which consists of a pre-built environment, close supervision by a senior student, and compiled reference material. We then compare the methodology with its absence using the frequency of undergraduates publishing as our metric. We observe a noticeable increase in the number of undergraduate publications under the new methodology, as well as a number of unexpected benefits for the students.
