We aim to make the working environment at Bristol as supportive of and conducive to research as is possible. Teaching loads on research active staff are clearly controlled. Two weekly seminar series involve presentations of finance and accounting research, both from our own academics and from external visitors. We encourage visits from distinguished academics from the leading UK and overseas universities. Research staff are also provided with resources to fund international conference attendance and other research-related expenses. Finally, the Department runs a research leave scheme, whereby staff are awarded one term of sabbatical for every two full years of service.
