Research Using Animals
The University is committed to ensure that the highest ethical standards and standards of care and respect for animal welfare are being maintained in all research where the use of animals is essential.
Please see the University’s Research Governance & Ethics and Research Code of Practice websites for more information.
These pages are designed to expand on those guidelines to give staff and students additional support and guidance on the ethical use of animals in research. You will find links to useful information resources held on external web sites and to further university guidance.
New visitors to these pages may wish to start by reading our basic overview of the legal requirements and ethical best practice on the use of animals in research.
