• The Research Commons is a dedicated advanced space for postgraduate students at Masters and Doctoral level as well as researchers and academic staff.
• It combines research and social space into a place to collaborate and connect with fellow students and faculty on research projects.
• It is a place for workshop and presentation opportunities, and a place to discover what your peers and colleagues are researching.
