Basic Searching

Location - The first drop-down menu allows you to search for projects by geographical location. Firstly select a region, then a new option will become available allowing you to narrow your search further by choosing a specific institution within that region.

Keyword - Enter your search terms in this freetext box to search through Project Title, Description and Supervisor Name.

Search terms can be combined by 'AND' or 'OR'. Wild cards * can also be used to match parts of words, e.g. Staphylococc* would search for Staphylococcus, Staphylococcal and Staphylococci.

Discipline - Tick the checkboxes to select one or more discliplines to search through.


Advanced Searching

The advanced search form allows you to narrow your search by selecting sub-disciplines. Simply click on each discipline heading to view its sub-disciplines. A magnifying glass icon is displayed to show which disciplines you are searching. If all checkboxes are left blank, the entire database is searched.
