Scientific and social research

Our research centres and groups are led by our most experienced researchers and give your business access to the latest research, thinking and technology.

Research is an integral part of the academic life at the University and we support research with a practical, business focus which helps to underpin its core teaching and learning activities. We encourage applied research to deliver practical solutions to the real world problems that businesses are currently facing. Our Business Development Managers can link you to the right Research Group or Centre, and advise on funding opportunities to facilitate project development and support.
