Overview
We apply theory in these areas to contemporary real world issues by undertaking innovative and rigorous science.
We focus on globally regarded, theoretical and applied research with 'real world' impact.

A member of staff, expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. As a research student you'll become part of our thriving academic community.
A PhD, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team.
