The Department
Research projects may be conducted in on-campus laboratories, in the wider community or within the student’s place of work. The Department has a long history of successful research collaboration with commercial organisations and health services both within the UK and internationally. The Department has expertise in both quantitative and qualitative research and several recent studies have capitalised upon this strength by adopting a mixed methods approach. All research students are supported by experienced teams of supervisors each led by a senior academic. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in a range of developmental activities in order to enhance their knowledge and research skills.
