OPSITARA Research
We are pleased to launch a new suite of postgraduate programmes in Applied Science this year, run by our Institute of Sport and Adventure. These programmes are already very popular. And our calendar of research events is filling up rapidly now that everyone is back on deck. We look forward to seeing you soon at an event that interests you.
Meanwhile enjoy this month's selection of research stories about our staff and students' work. One story, "Socially Responsible Fashion", gives you a snapshot of a special Fashion issue of Scope published last year which you are very welcome to read also.
