 Research
Open Day
Students and organisations
from across the region were invited to find out more about research in
areas of science at a special University Open Day.
The research areas drew on
the University's expertise in a range of fields, including biomedical
sciences, cancer research, optometry and pharmacy. The areas included:
cancer research; skin and hair follicle biology; pathological and physiological
mechanism; visual neuroscience; optics and ageing; drug development; drug
delivery; and drug management.
The Open Day helped would-be
research students decide whether Bradford is the right place for them.
Visitors had the opportunity to speak to research supervisors, current
students and administrative staff. They were able to enjoy short presentations
from research leaders and postgraduate students and see poster presentations
of current research.
Organisations invited to the
event were given the opportunity to see examples of international quality
research and to discuss how the University can provide support for research
collaboration, product development and manufacture in the bioscience and
chemical fields.
Businesses and other interested
parties were also shown plans for the University's purpose-built multi-million
pound research unit, the Institute of Pharmaceutical
Innovation.
The University's School
of Life Sciences, which hosted the event, has 18 research studentships
in the above areas to home and EU-based students. Students will need to
hold, or expect to hold, a 2:1 Honours degree, or equivalent, in an appropriate
science-based subject.
