Supporting and developing our student and staff researchers is intrinsic to the University of Brighton’s research ambition. We recognise that research students benefit from immersion in a cross-university peer-group research culture concerned with generic issues and aspects associated with the research process, as well as the more specialist techniques necessary for individual projects and disciplines.
Our framework brings together students from different disciplines, helping to foster the university community of scholars. This in turn enables research students to broaden their horizons and interact with scholars from other disciplines and the public: an essential skill in today’s world.
We support and nurture the development of colleagues at the beginning of their research careers and provide continuous support to our researchers as they progress in their chosen fields.
