Research Integrity training – updated information plus how to register
12 Nov 2026
Research colleagues and postgraduate researchers will soon be contacted by the Research, Governance, Ethics and Integrity Team with details of which training course they need to complete.
Research Integrity training is mandatory for postgraduate researchers and colleagues whose job involves conducting research. It must be repeated every 3 years to ensure the University meets the highest standards of research integrity as set out in its Code of Good Research Conduct
Colleagues will soon be contacted by the Research, Governance, Ethics and Integrity Team with details of which training course they need to complete, all of which are delivered by Epigeum, a provider of higher education training.
Those who are due to repeat the training will be required to take the new Research Integrity: Refresher course, a 60-minute programme designed to update their knowledge and help them stay informed on emerging issues and UK policy changes.
Those who have not yet completed any research integrity training from Epigeum will be required to complete three core modules of the Research Integrity course. These are: Responsible Research Practice; Irresponsible Research Practices; and Scholarly Publication. All other modules are available to colleagues who are encouraged to take as many modules as they think are relevant to them in addition to the three mandatory modules listed above. Completion of the mandatory modules will be monitored by the Research Governance, Ethics and Integrity Team.

Instructions on how to register for the course are on the University’s Research Integrity website.
A link will also be provided in the email inviting you to undertake your training.
Colleagues must follow the step-by-step guide to ensure they can register and complete the training.
