All research involving human subjects within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences must be approved by the AHSS Research Ethics Committee (REC). If your research will include human subjects in any way, you must complete the AHSS ethics application form and include any relevant supporting documentation in appendices. 

AHSSREC is audited on a regular basis by UL Research Ethics Governance & Faculty Research Ethics Committees (ULREG)

It has come to our attention that some people are using documentation from other faculties in error when seeking ethical approval

Please ensure you are using the correct link and accessing documentation and use only Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences' appendices. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at fahssethics@ul.ie
