Research at Newcastle
Newcastle University is among the top 20 higher education institutions in the UK in terms of research power, according to the influential professional publication, Research Fortnight.
This is based on the results of the Research Assessment Exercise 2008, which found that in over two thirds of subjects assessed, at least half of all research was placed in the top two categories of 4* (world leading) and 3* (internationally excellent).
The University also has one of the largest European Union research portfolios in the UK and has research links with many other countries. It is a member of the Russell Group, comprising 20 leading research institutions in the UK.
Our research spans a wide spectrum and activity spans subject boundaries and traditional faculty divides. To help promote interdisciplinary research we have established a range of internationally renowned research institutes and centres.
We work closely with industry and ensure that our research supports and influences changes in the business world. Businesses of all sizes benefit from collaboration with our researchers.
