Course summary

About the course

A University of Hertfordshire research degree is an internationally recognised degree signifying high levels of achievement in research. It develops extensive subject expertise and independent research skills which are honed over an extended period, depending on the level of the award.

You would undertake a substantial, original research project for the duration of the degree, under the supervision and guidance of two or more academic members of staff. Your supervisory team provides guidance both in the selection of a research topic and in the conduct of the research. You are also supported by attendance at postgraduate seminar series to develop subject specific knowledge and research skills relevant to your field of research.

The degree is assessed solely on the basis of the final research output, in the form of a substantial written thesis which must be "defended" in a viva. During the course of the degree, you would be given opportunities to present your work at major conferences and in refereed research publications.

What’s next for my career?

She has also worked on the  Electric Generations Project  with Owen Davies and  Dr Ciara Meehan , curating exhibitions on people's receptions to electricity, which have been held in Dublin, Hatfield, and Manchester.

Ceri is currently a Co-Investigator on the AHRC  Bottles Concealed and Revealed Project , working on collaboration with Museum of London Archaeology to explore bottle magic and renegotiate what is understood by the term 'witch bottle'.

Ceri has co-edited a volume on  The Materiality of Magic: An artefactual investigation into ritual practices and popular beliefs , published by Oxbow, and  Magical Folk: British and Irish Fairies  with Gibson Square. She has co-edited a special issue of Material Religion on 'Cataloguing Magic in Museum Contexts', and is currently co-editing a special issue of  Peace Review Journal  on Folklore.

Ceri is the editor of  FLS News, the newsletter of the Folklore Society. She also   manages two blogs: the  Love-Lock Diaries , which explores the global phenomenon of love-locking, and the  Concealed Revealed , which focuses on hidden domestic deposits and their afterlives. She also manages the  Archaeology of Contemporary Assemblages and Deposits  (ACAD)  Facebook  group; a global network of researchers interested in modern-day ritual deposits.

Division of Medicine Promotions 2024

27 June 2024

Congratulations to those who have been promoted in the Division of Medicine this year

Dr  Liam Browne (Wolfson Inst for Biomedical Research)   

Dr Johanna Donovan Education (Division of Medicine)

Dr Ian Harrison (Department of Imaging)    

Dr James Irving (Respiratory Medicine)

Dr Tammy Kalber (Department of Imaging)

Tammy's work centres on developing innovative imaging techniques using nanochemistry and molecular engineering to monitor cell therapies in vivo. Tammy intends to correlate quantitative delivery and localisation of cells, with the assessment of cell viability, in order to investigate the efficacy of cell therapies and predict their potential therapeutic outcomes.

This work utilises two cell labelling strategies: direct labelling and genetic reporter labelling. Nanoparticles and low molecular weight compounds are used to directly label cells with imaging agents. With genetic reporter labelling, the cells are genetically modified to express a gene that can incorporate an imaging probe into viable cells. Combining these two techniques allows cells to be tracked and assessed in vivo using a multitude of different imaging platforms (MRI, PET/SPECT/CT, optical) across scale (whole body to micrometre range).

Dr Anastasia Kalea Education (Division of Medicine)    

In 2011 Dr Kalea joined UCL as a BHF Chair Scholar (Prof Steve Humphries) to explore the genetic (telomeres) and epigenetic (miRNAs) mechanisms linked to cardiovascular diseases. She has been collaborating with the Hatter Cardiovascular Institute on the role of miRNAs in exosomes and with the UCL Gene Ontology (GO) team for the creation of curation guidelines for consistent functional annotation of miRNAs (available on “GO Consortium wiki”). Dr Kalea is an Academic Programme Lead for the MSc in Obesity and Clinical Nutrition and a member of the UCL Nutrition team, leading modules for the MSc in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition, MSc in Dietetics, BSc in Nutrition and Medical Sciences teaching across all nutrition programmes.
