Trainee Research

Trainees carry out their major research project over the three years of the course. They also do a small piece of service-related research in their first year.

This part of the website provides access to research-related resources, for both trainees and their supervisors. Trainees should refer to Moodle for the Research Project Handbook.

Members of the public, and also UCL students and staff, are invited to participate in projects currently recruiting participants.
