Research

The focus of research has three aims:

1. Linking research with learning & teaching
2. Getting research published
3. Utilizing resources related to research

The strategic approach to developing research has three elements:

1. To develop a good profile of knowledge from research that informs and enhances learning & teaching in the College
2. To produce high quality research outputs with a focus on education (but not limited to this subject)
3. To maintain a support service that enables, encourages and facilitates academic staff's engagement with research and scholarship

The infrastructure supporting research has three main aspects:

1. A Research Office that offers support on all areas of research activity and consults with staff on research-related matters
2. A Research Committee that steers the development of research and oversees the implementation of the current strategy
3. A Research Ethics Committee that reviews project proposals from staff and advises on procedures and the code of practice for research
