Research and innovation
We compete in the world league of humanities research with strengths in all aspects of social and cultural life.
Research and collaboration within each of our 10 Academic Schools directly inform policy and practice and are helping us to understand and shape the future.
Our research focuses on some of the longest-established fields of human academic endeavour, such as history, law and music, providing a continually-updated knowledge base for the professions, asking questions about the development of our societies, and examining pressing contemporary issues.
REF assesses the quality of research in UK higher education institutions. The impact of our research and environment in which we work at Cardiff University were integral to our REF 2021 submission.
SPARK updates the science park model, allowing researchers to work creatively with partners on societal challenges.
