Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

Conducting literature reviews,compiling reviews of literature for policy makers, recruiting participants, conducting surveys and interviews, transcribing interviews, analysing data in statistic packages, providing statistic reports, preparing manuscripts for submission, providing student support with statistics.

I like being at the forefront of new research and keeping up to date with the latest development. It's rewarding to know that your work can have a real world application by having a positive influence on policies being formed.
