Environment. Our students are all physically housed in SHS, sharing offices with research staff. We pride ourselves on offering our small group of postgraduate students the very best in academic, IT and pastoral support. Our active research collaboration (e.g. with Edinburgh University and local NHS trusts) gives unparalleled access to the national and international research community. Many of our students have gone on to successful careers in research and academia. External examiners have included Prof Jonathan Harrington, Prof Marilyn Vihman, Prof Wolfram Ziegler, Prof Rosemary Varley and Prof Gerry Docherty.
