The School's Human Centred Web (HCW) Laboratory is currently working in conjunction with the Manchester City Art Gallery to investigate the ways in which people access visual information within art. The experiment builds on previous research into how internet users access information on web pages, and aims to inform the development of text-to-speech technology. Experiments are being carried using the eye-tracking technology to gain an understanding of the sequence in which sighted users focus on areas of a visual resource.
There are wide range of funding opportunities available for postgraduate research students. Funded project studentships are proposed throughout the year. The School also funds a significant number of studentships. These are awarded each year to highly motivated research students from the UK, EU and overseas
Current active research projects are listed here. These are projects suggested by members of academic staff. Students can browse and chose suitable project from the list. Alternatively, there are options for submitting proposals for personal project through area supervisors. Advice on writing a research proposal is available from here.
