Research

Research plays a major role in supporting teaching and learning across the University

Research across the University contributes widely to the taught curriculum in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Postgraduate research provides a first opportunity for graduates with a strong interest in a chosen subject to embark on original research leading to the award of a higher degree. The postgraduate research experience is designed to help you build fundamental research skills.

The results of the Research Assessment Exercise 2008, in which four units were submitted, provided independent evidence of the quality of the strongest research carried out at the University. At least 50% of all submitted research was judged to be of international class and some world leading research was identified in two of the units of assessment submitted.
