The scientists in the School of Applied Sciences collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to address significant societal challenges related to human health, well-being, performance, and behavior. They take theoretical insights from these areas and apply them to contemporary real-world issues through innovative and rigorous scientific methods.
Their focus is on globally recognized theoretical and applied research that has a tangible impact on the world. Teaching is deeply informed by current research, with excellence bolstered by outstanding research facilities. These facilities empower both staff and students to engage in cutting-edge studies using the latest equipment and resources.
Each research student is guided and supported by a staff member who is an expert in their chosen field, ensuring that they feel connected and integrated into a vibrant academic community.
A Master of Research (MRes) is essentially about making an original contribution to knowledge. Unlike traditional taught courses, research degrees require students to take charge of their own learning, with support from a dedicated supervisory team. When applying for an MRes, applicants are expected to provide a research proposal that clearly outlines the purpose of their study and its potential impact.
