ARU is home to a dynamic postgraduate research community that benefits from high-quality facilities, a comprehensive Researcher Development Programme, and support from experienced, research-active supervisors.
Research Area. Music therapy. This three-year PhD studentship will be supported by Professor Jorg Fachner, Dr Alex Street, and Dr Domenico Vicinanza, across the faculties of science and engineering, and arts, humanities and social science.
Research area. Medical devices and technology. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects ~1% of the global population. Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 is an internationally recognised indicator of disease status and requires physical examination of 28 joints by a doctor, which is highly subjective and time-consuming.
Research area. Vision. Would you like to help us improve the structure of competition at the Paralympic games? Paralympic competition is structured into classes so that athletes compete against others whose impairment has a similar impact on performance.
Research Area. Ageing. The utility of so called ‘brain training’ techniques for improving cognitive abilities is widely debated. Claims that they have a positive impact on structural and/or functional integrity of the brain are reported in the media, but are typically unsupported by sound empirical evidence.
Research area. Sustainable health systems. As a music therapy PhD student, you will join our growing internationally known clinical research team, which includes a programme of expanding research projects in the fields of dementia, adult mental health, and child and family work.
Prof H Odell-Miller, Dr E Lee, Dr A Street, Dr M Bristow

Research Area. Music therapy. The incidence of dementia is increasing as our society ages. This has led to an increase in ‘informal’ caring, where partners provide the majority of the care for their loved one with dementia.
Project Outline. The dry matter concentration of potato tubers is an important quality attribute, particularly for the production of crisps and french fries but also for fresh produce.
