Research

Research

Research at the university is carried by the faculties and hosted, at postgraduate level, by the School of Postgraduate Studies.

How it is organised

Research sits with the faculties

There is no separate research institute. Supervision, laboratories and fieldwork belong to the faculty that teaches the subject, and the School of Postgraduate Studies admits and examines the students who carry the work.

That arrangement is set out in the university's Strategic Plan for 2023 to 2027.
