We have strong and developing links with business through research-led teaching, practice-based classroom activities, student placements, business support, research and consultancy.

Further to this, you will be in an excellent position to influence the direction of our curriculum going forward and become involved in both module and programme leadership.

Laterally, individual and collaborative research projects will allow you to contribute to the research profile within your School, leading to the production of high-quality research outputs and outcomes.
