Training

There are multiple opportunities to undertake training in research integrity and associated activities. This page provides an overview of these opportunities.

All research-related staff and students are asked to complete our Research Integrity online module.  This is administered through the graduate school and you can see more about this and other relevant training on their training and development pages. The Research Integrity course is available to Brunel users through Epigeum.
