6 researching diversity a bradford Story that s worldwide Equality and diversity are important across the world, and researchers in the School of Health Studies are central to how exploring health and equality and diversity are linked. Born in Bradford is a ground breaking study following 10,000 babies born in the city and their families over 20 years, exploring their experiences of health and illness. The study, led by Professor Neil Small with both academic and health service colleagues, will tell us a phenomenal amount about inequalities in health here in Bradford, but also much more than this. It will tell the stories of families across the generations and across continents. Importantly, it will also help us to provide better, culturally sensitive health care for all in the future. Born in Bradford is crucial to the School s ongoing research into equality and diversity and patients experiences. 4 For further information: Tel: soh-recruitment@bradford.ac.uk

9 BRADFORD FOR RESEARCH The University of Bradford has a unique portfolio of world-class research and knowledge transfer (RKT) in the UK and abroad. Knowledge transfer is the exchange of ideas, knowledge and expertise between the University and a range of external organisations where the intention is to create economic and social benefit through innovation in products, services, ways of working and business models. Track Record More than 40 years of research activity Multi-disciplinary/cross-school research teams International reputation for knowledge transfer Ranked in the Top 50 English Universities for research funding (HEFCE 2009/10) 80% of research output of RAE-rated international quality Customer-focused (Customer First accredited) One of the University s strengths is that it teaches its students in an atmosphere of research. Our students are being taught their courses by members of staff who are internationally recognised for research. Professor Phil Coates FREng Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Research & Knowledge Transfer Research Quality The University of Bradford s reputation for international quality research has been further enhanced by a strong performance in the 2008 national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). The RAE is a key measure of a university s research strengths and quality. Almost two thirds of our academic staff were entered in the RAE and, on average, 80% of our return was recognised as research of international and world leading quality. This figure rose in some disciplines to above 90%. In total 15 research disciplines were entered and all of these gained at least international recognition. Our experience has been incredibly positive; the support offered by Momenta and University of Bradford representatives has been excellent. Craig Naylor Managing Director, NTR Ltd Collaborating (with the University of Bradford) on this KTP has proved beneficial. We have made some outstanding technical advances which could result in efficiency savings for our business, its shareholders and our customers. David Hanson, Senior Project Engineer, Yorkshire Water Services Ltd Research & Knowledge Transfer Centres Research and knowledge transfer activity takes place across all University disciplines. In the strongest areas we have established ten RKT centres: Centre for Advanced Materials Engineering Centre for Applied Social Research Centre for Automotive Engineering Centre for Infection Control and Biophysics Centre for Managerial Excellence Centre for Polymer, Micro & Nano Technology Centre for Pharmaceutical Engineering Science Centre for Skin Sciences Centre for Sustainable Environments Centre for Visual Computing All have impressive track records of research council funding, research studentships, and working with industry and business. For more information In the past five years Bradford has invested more than 20 million in research capability and infrastructure.

11 Born in Bradford is a research programme that is following the lives of over 10,000 babies over the next 20 years. The findings of the study will help us understand how we can improve people s health. RESEARCH IN HEALTH CARE QUALITY Over 733,000 people are currently employed in the UK care sector in over 27,000 different care settings. Legislation and an ageing population are both contributing to demands for raised standards of care. However at the same time the sector is faced with an increasing need to develop employees skills and to reduce the annual staff turnover rate, which currently stands at 14.5%. The School of Health Studies engages in research projects with a variety of healthcare sector partners to help them improve the quality of their service delivery. Projects range from service improvement initiatives through to evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions across a range of professional disciplines and healthcare environments. (Data from the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC)) Further information can be found at For further information on studying for a PhD in this area of research please see page 8. RESEARCH IN EDUCATION The School of Health Studies has a long tradition of producing nationally and internationally recognised educational research. Much of our work has been focused on assessment and feedback processes and involves partners from across the University and/or in collaboration with other Universities.

12 RESEARCH IN DEMENTIA There are currently 750,000 people with dementia in the UK, and 60,000 deaths each year are currently directly attributable to the disorder. Because of the ageing population, it is expected that the number of people with dementia will exceed 1 million by This has important social and financial implications, with the financial costs of dementia to the UK currently estimated to exceed 17 billion each year. Bradford Dementia Group (BDG) leads the School s research in this area. Established in 1992 by the late Professor Tom Kitwood, the BDG is a multi-disciplinary and multi-professional group committed to making a difference to policy and practice in dementia care, both for people with the disorder and their families. Current Research Areas Include: Lived experience of dementia Quality of care For further information on studying for a PhD in this area of research please see page 8. RESEARCH IN INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY All organisations, public, private and third sector, have a duty to promote inclusion and diversity. In order to do this effectively, the diversity of their staff and service user population must be recognised, acknowledging a wide range of experiences, aspirations and needs. The Centre for Inclusion and Diversity, based at the School of Health Studies and led by Professor Uduak Archibong, co-ordinates the development of applied research in the field at the University of Bradford. Research Areas Include: Workforce diversity in health and education Inequalities in health and social care Disadvantaged groups Cross-cultural negotiation of community/family access to and engagement in public services Culturally sensitive measurement and psychometrics Visible difference and disfigurement research For further information on studying for a PhD in this area of research please see page For further information: Tel: soh-recruitment@bradford.ac.uk

15 Additional instructions for Research You must arrange for your referees to send references to the University, unless you have provided their addresses as part of the online application form and then the system will your referees direct. You will need to discuss your proposed field of research in some detail with the Division. The Division must ensure that the University can provide the necessary supervision, equipment and research materials. So, in addition to your completed application form and supporting documents, you need to provide a research proposal. For more information on what is required for the research proposal, please visit the Division s Research website, or contact the person listed on the Division s research page. If you don t apply online, you should send this information and any supporting documents to the contact name given for research in the appropriate Division. If you have applied online, your information will be sent automatically to the relevant Division. The majority of research students start in September, but it is possible in some Schools to start with effect from January, April or July. Typical periods of registration for full-time research are fifteen months (minimum twelve) for an MPhil, and three years for a PhD. Part-time and distance learning study Distance learning is available for some taught courses, and part-time study is possible for some taught courses and in principle for all research degrees. Part-time taught courses generally last for two years. Typical periods of registration for part-time research degrees are three years for MPhil and five years for PhD. Extramural study In some limited circumstances it may be possible for students to undertake a significant part, or even the whole, of a programme of research away from the University, provided that suitable arrangements for supervision can be made. This must be negotiated with the appropriate Division. Visiting students Each year we welcome a number of occasional and visiting students who are not registered for a complete degree programme. These students attend individual courses or undertake a special programme of research as either full-time or part-time students, and pay fees at an appropriate rate. If you are interested in undertaking a programme of study or research which does not lead to any formal Bradford qualification, you should write to the contact name in the School setting out your requirements. Term Dates and Enrolment If you are a home or EU student, enrolment and induction will probably be from Tuesday, 20 September For international students enrolment and induction will be from 14 September 2011 (a few courses have different starting dates, but you will be told about this in good time). It is best if new research students can also enrol at the beginning of the academic year in September, though there is more flexibility here. If you wish to start your research programme at any other time (such as the beginning of January), then you will need to make arrangements with the School. You are encouraged to attend the special Welcome Week organised by the Students Union which takes place during the week of enrolment. This will introduce you to the University in particular, and life in the City of Bradford in general. If you are coming from overseas you should also certainly aim to attend the special programme of orientation events for International Students, which will be held throughout International Student Enrolment and Welcome Week commencing 14 September It is also a good idea to make sure of your accommodation before Semester One starts, especially if you are coming from overseas and/or making your own arrangements. Accommodation is easier to find in Bradford than in most cities in the UK, but it is still wise to get this sorted out before you begin your formal study. So though the dates set out below are the periods when you are expected to be in residence in order to follow your course of study, we shall certainly expect you to come to Bradford before the first day of the first semester. Important Dates, International Student Enrolment September 2011 Welcome Week September 2011 Semester One 26 September January 2012 Semester Two 23 January May 2012 Semester Three May 2012 September 2012 (dates to be confirmed) NB Not all courses necessarily follow these dates exactly and the submission deadline for the Dissertation is often the end of August after the summer term has finished.
