Research Ethics

Ethical expectations and considerations  

Research projects at the university cover a diverse and wide ranging list of topics and themes and it is important to recognise that, whatever the research topic, there will be issues that relate to ethical practices. At the University of Cumbria ethical approval for research conducted as part of a taught programme (at both undergraduate and postgraduate level) should be sought through module tutors and/or the relevant departmental procedures.

The University of Cumbria Research Ethics and Integrity page contains the latest University of Cumbria's policies, practices, and guidance on research integrity and ethics with a view to promoting best practices in the ethical conduct of research.
