Overview

As a researcher in the School, students can engage in a structured programme of training to develop the critical skills necessary for study. An experienced supervisory team can offer support and guidance on research, funding opportunities, attending conferences, and publishing work in recognised journals.

Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have regular meetings with their academic supervisor, but the frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme.
