research with a critical edge

We strive for an intellectually stimulating and collegiate research environment where a spirit of questioning is encouraged.

our research culture

We conduct rigorous research that matters. That means exploring new ideas, and listening to different perspectives. It means questioning established thinking, and challenging old ways of working.

We value innovative interdisciplinary research and encourage international research partnerships. The importance of rigour inflects our research culture.
