Faculty ethics committee approval is required to safeguard researchers conducting the study and also protects the rights, safety and well-being of research participants. Obtaining ethical approval also facilitates and promotes ethical research that is of potential benefit to participants, science and society. The University can ensure that the research conducted is of a high ethical standard and is in accordance with research governance.
Each faculty has its own faculty ethics committee with their own procedures for submitting and reviewing research and consultancy projects. The faculty ethics committees approval process for each faculty and the library and learning services can be found here.
