What is Applied Research?
Applied research allows students to take on real-world challenges and create practical solutions. Instead of solely learning theory, students get to test ideas and see how they work in action.
- Work on projects that solve problems in technology, the environment, business, and more
- Learn how to use research methods in a hands-on environment
- Connect classroom learning with real-world experiences
At Lambton College, research is built into coursework to create results that benefit both the College and the wider community.
