Student Research
ACAP students in some advanced degrees are required to complete a significant piece of independent scholarly research as part of their learning. These research projects aim to contribute new and meaningful knowledge to a range of topical areas. Once approved, a list of current research projects being conducted by ACAP students will be available on this page. In addition to information about each project, there is also a link to enable participation. All approved projects have been reviewed both for scientific merit and to ensure that ethical standards are met.
