Founded by students at the London School
of Economics, RedX Research is a network for students to work with world-leading professors
on their original, independent research.
Special feature.
Featuring professors from the world's best universities*
*We are partnered with professors, not the universities themselves.
Only 20 students get to
work with a professor
on each topic. Small
classes ensure max focus.
In-person bootcamps with professors hosted annually in Dubai and Singapore.
Our students spend 10 days of their summer with professors and tutors from the world's best universities in-person and face to face.
Students must make an application (which can be found at the bottom of this page). Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview within two weeks of making an application, and successful candidates will attend an in-person bootcamp in Dubai.*
*Applications for our summer research progam at the National University of Singapore have now closed. The Dubai program is currently accepting students.
Frequently asked questions
Edition: Dubai Summer Research Programs
What's the timeline for the Dubai Summer Research Program (SRP)?
- The in-person component of the program runs from July 1 to July 10, 2026. Group presentations and draft research papers are due on July 17, 2026, in an online class hosted by the professor. Final research papers are due on August 1, 2026, after which professors will provide detailed feedback along with a grade and, for top-performing students, a letter of recommendation.
What's in store for Summer 2026?
- Please have a look at our brochure here.
Where will the Dubai program be held?
- We'll make use of the state-of-the-art facilities in Dubai Knowledge Park.
How do RedX classes work?
- Our courses are designed to a very high standard. We've given our partner professors complete freedom to design their courses exactly as they would for their own university students. You'll attend daily classes with your professor and have an academic tutor (a student from a top university) available throughout to answer questions. All required readings are provided when you enroll. After the first few classes, students form research groups to work on a paper together.
You may conduct independent research if you prefer, but we generally do not recommend it. Research is time-intensive, and working in a group tends to be more effective. You are not expected to complete your paper by the end of the program. The draft is due two weeks later, on July 24, 2026 (BST). Your professor will then host a class to discuss each project and identify areas for improvement. The final paper is due one week later, on August 1, 2026 (BST). Upon final submission—whether as a group or individually—you will receive a report from the professor that includes your grade.
Do you offer one-on-one classes?
- Yes, we can arrange one-on-one classes where you'll be taught directly by the professor alongside an academic tutor. These individual programs run online rather than in-person. Just email us at hello@redxresearch.com for more details.
Does every student get a letter of recommendation?
- Only top performing students (Grade A or above) are able to request a letter of recommendation from the professor who supervised their research.
