If you're looking to start research as an undergraduate, UNH is the right place for you. Here at UNH, students of all majors land research positions that are often paid, both on campus and beyond. Where does research take place in college? At UNH, our wide array of research opportunities takes student researchers everywhere, from an island off the coast of Maine to a manufacturing factory environment to a hospital simulation lab. Our campus tours show you the main parts of our campus but can't cover everything. Today, we're looking at five amazing UNH research labs you won't necessarily see on a campus tour!

1. A Secluded Paradise off the Coast of Maine
The Shoals Marine Laboratory
Students who research and take classes at the Shoals Marine Lab on Appledore Island hop on a boat and travel to the beautiful Isles of Shoals. Once there, they study marine mammals, sustainability communication, fisheries science and much more!

3. The Shore of One of the Largest Estuaries in Northern New England
The Jackson Estuarine Laboratory
Located just five miles from UNH's Durham campus, the Jackson Estuarine Laboratory sits on the shores of the Great Bay Estuary, one of the largest estuaries in northern New England. Equipped with a lab and a small fleet of research vessels, the Jackson Lab is where students can conduct field-based and experimental research on physical and biological components of coastal ecosystems.

5. Manufacturing Experience in a Real Factory Environment
The John Olson Advanced Manufacturing Center
At the John Olson Advanced Manufacturing Center, all UNH students can get real experience in a factory environment. This research can lead them to present at major conferences and prepare for graduate education. A cross-curricular approach to engineering and manufacturing concepts provides hands-on, interdisciplinary learning opportunities in a factory environment and the ability to collaborate with industry.
