Research centres

Our research centres are externally funded through major research grants, strategic funding or local partnerships. They conduct internationally recognised research and provide postgraduate programmes and research supervision, allowing students to work closely with staff in these specialist areas.

Research networks

Our research networks pull together members of staff and postgraduate students who share common research interests and allow a flexible and less formal way to explore different themes.
