Our research strengths make us well placed to conduct inter-disciplinary research into the great challenges facing our society. This research feeds into innovative and topical teaching programmes that attract a diverse undergraduate and postgraduate student population, producing graduates who will shape the future with the skills to address key public policy questions of the day.
