Research Centres
Research Seminars
We have an extremely active research culture in which the relatively large body of postgraduate students plays a key role. Postgraduate students are encouraged to attend the Research Seminars in AHVS, where members of staff and guest lecturers present papers, and we also have a Postgraduate Research Blog, which is run by postgraduate students for postgraduate students.
