Most Schools run regular research seminars, mount conferences, and contribute to the work of Research Centres which all go to support the general 'research environment'. Research degrees are currently awarded through the University of Southampton. Candidates who have registered under this scheme have found it of great benefit when submitting final proposals for full registration either here or elsewhere. Taught Masters level courses are available under the general umbrella of the Postgraduate Awards Scheme. This is a modular, credit-based scheme in which there are currently ten routes which offer postgraduate certificates, diplomas and masters awards.
Plans are in hand to develop an MRes and more practice-based courses.
