Responsible research

As a researcher, you are expected to maintain the highest standards, from initial conception and conduct of the research through to dissemination and application.

You also have a duty to consider how the work you undertake, host or support impacts on the wider research community and on society as a whole.

Research integrity tutorial

You must complete the Research integrity Tutorial on the VLE before your first TAP (Thesis Advisory Panel) meeting.

The Research integrity tutorial introduces you to the standards expected by the University for the conduct of research, and the associated procedures that should be followed. The tutorial is just a starting point and we encourage you to talk through implications with your supervisor, and to take advantage of the further training and support provided in your department and by the University. Find out more about the tutorial, and about our approach to academic integrity.

Use of generative Artificial Intelligence in PGR programmes

For universities, generative AI presents huge opportunities with respect to learning and research but also potential harms, including unintended consequences of which we are, as yet, unaware. Read our position statements on generative AI use in PGR programmes and our advice on how to avoid academic and research misconduct.
