Business School Research

At the Business School we are committed to ensuring our research is directly relevant to industry, the economy and the needs of society. Our staff are actively involved in both research and knowledge exchange activities.

Centre for Mental Health and Capacity Law

The centre focuses on mental health and incapacity law rights and policy but goes beyond the legislation that specifically provides for the care and treatment of individuals. Our research areas include employability, law, learning disabilities, mental health, public health, human rights, social justice, user experience (UX) and mental capacity.
