Research Management

The institutional responsibility for the oversight and direction of research rests with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor.

The Graduate Research School has institution wide responsibilities for research and research students.

There are three main institutional research committees:

Research and Knowledge Transfer Committee, which is concerned with matters of policy and strategy relating to research, scholarly activity, knowledge transfer innovation and enterprise across the University

Research Degrees Board, which is responsible for the scrutiny and approval of research degree programmes and for the enhancement and development of research degree procedures

Graduate Research School Steering Group, which is responsible for advising on the development and enhancement of the Graduate Research School Service.

Heads of Institute are responsible for the overall leadership and direction of academic activity, including research, within their Institute. In each Institute, a senior member or members of staff is/are identified as Research Coordinator(s). Each Institute also has a sub-committee for research and knowledge transfer.
