Our purpose

Research With Impact

Our research is helping to change the world for the better. 

Driving high-impact research is a core pillar of our University strategy. In 2022 we launched Research with Impact – an initiative to celebrate our cross-disciplinary research and showcase our ongoing commitment to contribute to the world around us. 

Research with Impact puts the spotlight on our three key areas of focus: Sustainability, Digital, Health & Wellbeing. The research we’re undertaking in partnership with businesses and industry is advancing low carbon living. It’s paving the way for a sustainable future. And it’s leading to a future of improved health and wellbeing.


Discover more on our Research with Impact page, through articles and podcasts which showcase the research we’re delivering across our key focus areas. Here you’ll learn more about how we’re developing a sustainable alternative to palm oil, storing vaccines without refrigeration and making big data work for society.

Over 90% of the research we submitted to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 was awarded the classification of ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’. We’re continually seeking to push boundaries and make an impact for the future of our planet and its people.
