Research and scholarly activity represent an important dimension of the work of P.A. College, providing an important contribution to all aspects of course development, curriculum structure, module content, teaching and learning.

The importance of research and staff development activities is fully recognised and promoted.  In this light, the College policy has focused on two main areas: the continuous improvement of the publication of the College's Journal and the parallel promotion of other activities contributing substantially to staff development and research.

Research activities of the faculty members include the participation in and presentation of their research outcome during international conferences, the publication of papers in international refereed journals, as well as the active participation in academic research projects, externally funded by the Research Promotion Foundation and/or European Framework Programmes.

Students are actively involved in research activities through the undertaking of research focused projects as well as the completion of a dissertation project in the final year of their BA or BSc Honours Degree studies.
