Learn about some of the key things you need to consider when planning your research project such as research methodology, conducting a literature review, drawing conclusions and research ethics.

Research Ethics

Research Guides

We’ve produced a number of useful ‘how to’ guides to guide you through writing a research report, and setting up a journal club.
