In addition to this, we are proud of the cross-disciplinary work carried out between departments, for example through the Faculty research seminar series and through collaborations between members of staff. This cross-disciplinarity is also a feature of the experience of our research students, evident in the fruitful collaborations and conversations begun during our annual faculty PhD away weekend. The Faculty is committed to supporting doctoral research which is innovative, critical and discipline-changing.
