School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences

Our research students

Our research students are undertaking a postgraduate research degree under the supervision of at least one of our academics.

During their time in the School they also have the opportunity to take up paid roles as Graduate Laboratory Assistants, helping them gain teaching experience in a higher education environment.
