Research Funding
We receive funding from a wide variety of funders worldwide. This includes Research Councils, major charities, European Union, UK Government departments and industry.
Research funding is one of the indicators of the performance of the University. It's most important because these grants enable us to do the research that pushes back the boundaries of knowledge. It allows our creativity to flourish, and helps to make our world better.
