Why research with us?

At LSBU we recognise that you want to build on the potential and intellectual interests you have already developed. Our range of Research programmes focus on a major piece of independent research. A PhD, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. Therefore, our students become world experts in whatever field of research they are engaged in.

This is a challenge that cannot be missed. Rarely again, in whatever career you pursue, will you be able to devote such a sustained effort to a piece of research of your own choosing.

Our supervisors provide you with first class support and guidance throughout your time with us and we ensure that you get the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills via various routes such as related studies to enhance your research and opportunities to advance your career.

We are committed to high quality teaching, underpinned by excellence in research. Our research institutes and centres are well known nationally and internationally. As one of our students you will not only gain from our reputation - you will also be able to contribute to it.
