Collaborative research for healthier communities

Our faculty are engaged in a huge range of research projects in subjects related to health and leisure, and strive to make their findings available to wider communities through publication. And often, their students are key participants and contributers to this research; these publications are students' first steps in their careers as academics and/or researchers.
