The Faculty offers a range of research opportunities in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In addition, the Faculty offers opportunities for research across faculties, institutions and disciplines. The range of research interests has been extended to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration in such areas as European Studies, Journalism Studies and Scottish Studies. Increasingly, the internationally renowned interdisciplinary research in the Faculty is being grouped in research centres of excellence. Some of these draw on formal and informal links with sister institutions in Glasgow and joint programmes with the University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University are well-established.
Collaborative initiatives continue to be developed.
These activities are complemented by a Scottish-Irish Research Network within Strathclyde. Strong ties with several European universities and with universities across the USA and Canada mean that there is regular exchange of staff and students, ideas and knowledge beyond our national boundaries.
