Department of Pharmacology

 

As a Department, we are highly committed to constantly striving to maintain and improve a positive, healthy research and innovation culture. This culture nurtures diverse people and ideas without compromising the quality and integrity of our research. We constantly review our relevant practices and work closely with the Research Culture Champions Network within the School of Biological Sciences and the wider University to discuss and adopt the best practices in this regard.

Code of Practice for Research Students

The Code of Practice sets out the University's guidelines for those postgraduate courses examined by scrutiny of an extended research thesis and an oral examination only. It includes sections on what is expected of you as a research student, and what you can expect of your Principal Supervisor and your Advisor.
