All of which are supported by expertise in research ethics and statistical modelling.
Postgraduate research students will carry out an original, independent research and/or practice-based project, whilst being guided and supported by a team of expert academic supervisors. As students do this, they will benefit from an extensive programme of researcher development tailored to their background, needs and future ambitions. This will in turn help students develop the skills required to deliver research excellence.
The student's progress will be monitored throughout the year and via an annual review. The final assessment is by examination of a submitted thesis and viva voce (oral examination). With the help of the student's supervisors, they will be encouraged to publish their research during and after their studies. The award of Master of Science by Research (MSc by Research) demonstrates a practical ability to undertake research studies, a systematic understanding of knowledge and a critical awareness of current problems and/or the application of original thought.
