Addressing key health challenges affecting society, we have created a sustainable and inclusive research environment to harness discovery research for future clinical innovation.
We aim to understand and exploit fundamental biological mechanisms to deliver the research knowledge and technologies to support a healthy growing population in a sustainable world.
From tectonics and resource geology to hazard prediction and climate change policy, we are tackling some of the central problems facing humanity today.
We are committed to an ethos of rigorous interdisciplinary research in the chemical sciences, underpinned by outstanding research facilities and infrastructure.
We are a leading research department focused on creating new fundamental understanding and impact on a wide spectrum of physical processes governing nature.
Our research advances fundamental mathematical knowledge, facilitates the application of mathematical sciences in other disciplines, and provides societal benefit.
We are committed to engaging with local and international communities, creative industries and policy communities to create impact through rigorous research.
We have an international reputation for excellence in archaeological science and field research, conservation, heritage practice and public engagement.
Our research is driven by transnational questions around global justice and multi-level governance, environmental sustainability, health and wellbeing, human rights, social justice, crime and security.
Our research is at the cutting edge of politics and international relations and our researchers are engaged with national and international policy and practice.
Our research focuses on five broad themes: inequalities, division and diversity; culture, interaction and everyday life; crime, security and justice; science, technology and risk; and education, skills and labour market.
Our research focuses on children’s and young people’s welfare, learning and pedagogy from the early years to professional education, and education, skills and labour markets.
Our researchers share a distinctive interest in interdisciplinary and transnational approaches to literary and visual cultures, translation, heritage and sociolinguistics.
Our research strengths are aligned to our aim to deliver international leadership on trans-disciplinary research with a focus upon the diversity that characterises the value of the humanities.
We explore and share a passion for past societies and religious beliefs, from prehistory to the present day, in a way that impacts academia, educators, heritage organisations, healthcare professionals, government policy-makers, and the general public.
Our work analyses media policy, representations and practices, with a focus on current challenges. It encompasses research examining journalism and democracy, the implications of developing technologies, and creative industry innovation.
