The University is a hub of invention and creativity. Research shapes everything we do, from our innovative teaching methods to our impressive portfolio of spin-out companies.
Our reputation for breaking new ground has enabled us to maintain our status as one of the UK’s top research universities. We are among the top 15 UK universities for research, receiving more than £80m in research grants and contracts each year.
