The Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers
We are a signatory to the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers. We have agreed to an action plan to further improve, and the progress against this plan will be reviewed by Council annually.
Our academic staff ensure research is conducted in every subject for the benefit of the learning of our students and to have a positive impact on society. We support them in this important aspect of their work through creating an environment in which they can thrive.
The Academic Development Unit (ADU) supports the implementation of the Education Strategy, working in close partnership with all academic schools and professional departments, covering learning & teaching and research & practice, and the development of the subject communities that our students and academic staff join.
