The University has a strong reputation as a provider of applied research and innovation - meeting the needs of industry, commerce, professional bodies and other research institutions. It operates across many fields - from civil engineering and computing science to European studies and psychology.
Many projects are applications-led and involve outside support, collaboration or sponsorship.
Research Groups Much of the University's innovative research is carried out within its faculties. However, an increasing volume of significant work is emerging from independent research groups, many of which are inter-disciplinary and include members from a number of academic divisions.
