3. Research Strategies

The Academy's Research Strategy is contained in the institution's Strategic Plan: Investing in Creativity

4. Research Management Structures

Management of research in the Academy is the responsibility of our Head of Research.

The research function is monitored by a Research Committee which meets six times per year. In addition a Research Degrees Committee meets 4 times per year. It undertakes the annual progress review for research students. This process is centred upon the individual's performance in their field and no information can therefore be made available to third parties.

Information relating directly to the work of named research students or which, if publicised, could be used to identify individual students is exempted.

5. Research Support Arrangements

Arrangements for supporting research in the Academy are set out in the Prospectus and on the RSAMD website www.rsamd.ac.uk.

Further information can be obtained by contacting the Head of Research at the Academy.

See Section 1 General Information (2. Principal Officers.) above for contact details.
