Faculty Research Ethics Committee

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Lancaster University Management School have a joint Research Ethics Committee (FASS-LUMS REC) that oversees ethical review of proposed research in all Departments of both Faculties.

All colleagues and students intending to submit an application for ethics approval to the FASS-LUMS REC are strongly advised to read through the instructions and information contained on this site before completing and submitting their application.

To note, it can take longer to review ethics applications during the summer months due to staff leave commitments. Therefore please help us to help you and allow extra time for your application to be fully processed and reviewed in summer.
