Our Researcher Development Programme for research students meets and exceeds the Research Councils’ requirements and is available to students in Cornwall as well as on the Exeter campuses.
All staff at our Cornwall Campus are highly active in research and therefore can offer research supervision, for both full-time and part-time MPhil or PhD study.
