This session is open to all PGR Students regardless of which year of study they may be in. However, for students in their first year, this is a mandatory session that must be completed in your first 12 months, before Annual Progression (Year One), and before data collection or research activity commences. 

This session will explore the scope of ethical review and some of the fundamental principles underpinning research ethics and integrity best practices. Secondly, this session will also support you with completing an application in the Ethics Online System, provide insights into the ethical review process, and explain how to ensure your application is reviewed and approved.
