Research-led Teaching
Student Knowledge, Appreciation and Experience of Research in the School of Engineering. Dr Claire Lucas, Disha Naik, Yung-Yu Lau
Research
progresses at the boundaries and overlaps between disciplines. Following a common-two years of material defined by the QAA subject benchmark, 3rd and 4th year teaching is allowed to strategically, thematically & operationally align with the research streams. This is deemed to be a significant benefit of a research-led Russell-Group education. (C Lucas)
