Research

Rated as one of the top 10 schools for research in the United Kingdom by the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the School is also recognised internationally for its research.

Our research degrees enjoy world-wide prestige and we offer postgraduate programmes of outstanding quality. Postgraduate students benefit from the best possible support and supervision and, on graduating, they are well qualified to take up key posts in industry and academia.

Every week, talks are being held in the school by internal and invited speakers on a variety of subject areas. Events such as workshops and conferences are organised and held at the School or University.

With about 30 academic staff, 70 research students and 36 research assistants and fellows, the School hosts 24 EPSRC-funded research projects, 6 EC-funded projects, 7 industrially funded projects, and several research fellowships. Grants and fellowships currently total more than £6M.

The vibrant research culture of the School strongly encourages cross- disciplinary collaboration with each research group running its own seminar series as well as contributing to a weekly research forum.
