Writtle University College and ARU have merged. Writtle’s full range of college, degree, postgraduate and short courses will still be delivered on the Writtle campus. See our guide to finding Writtle information on this site.

Postgraduate research

We have a thriving and diverse body of more than 200 research students who work in a vibrant and stimulating research community.

Our postgraduate research students work with their supervisory teams who provide oversight, guidance and support. Our enriching and stimulating research environment includes:

  • faculty, school and research institute seminar series
  • an annual PGR conference
  • an annual faculty conference for staff and PGRs
  • a comprehensive Researcher Development Programme.

PGR students are also supported with up to £500 to facilitate conference attendance, and can claim costs towards the organisation of reading groups, seminars and conferences that they run and which enrich the Faculty's research environment.

The Research and Innovation Development Office (RIDO), are always on hand if you need help with grant applications or knowledge transfer initiatives and wider career development beyond your research.
