Science and Technology Nottingham Trent University

Overview

Research in the School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University is rich and diverse, with staff conducting internationally recognised and world-leading research. 

Supporting your studies

Carrying out research for a PhD or ProfD requires different skills from undergraduate or taught postgraduate study. You will mostly work on your own research project, but we also emphasise the importance of regular meetings with your supervisory team.

The team consists of a director of studies (who will usually have expertise in your subject area) and at least one other supervisor selected for their complementary expertise such as relevant research methods.

The Doctoral School team will support you from your initial enquiry, through the application process and the various stages of your degree, until your viva voce examination and subsequent graduation. 

Once you begin your studies, you will have induction sessions to introduce you to the University, help you settle in and meet other researchers.
