Here at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, we offer numerous opportunities for postgraduate research across our four departments: the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Business School, the Faculty of Science & Technology, the Faculty of Media & Communication and the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences.  

As a Visiting Postgraduate Researcher (Visiting PGR) we will help you to expand your knowledge and aid you in continuing your professional development. 

Throughout your journey with us, you will work to complete a research project or activity as part of ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥â€™s research community and will engage in relevant Doctoral College or faculty-based training opportunities, and contribute to our research environment. 

At ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, we strongly encourage collaboration across specialisms. By joining us as a Visiting PGR, you will have the opportunity to work with academics from other faculties and specialisms across the university to deliver truly impactful research across a multitude of disciplines. 

All our Visiting PGRs will be supervised by an academic mentor, who has the knowledge and expertise to support you throughout your time here.
