Research Units
We operate across the region through a partnership of twelve colleges and research institutions (Academic Partners). Each Academic Partner is an autonomous body, has its own character and contributes to the organisation, giving a breadth and diversity that adds immeasurably to the learning and research opportunities we offer.
Academic Partners have their own micro-strategies and employ the majority of the research staff, make their own investments and exploit local autonomy in creating research activity within the wider university strategy. This breadth and diversity of the university partnership adds strength and impact to the main research themes at the local level, often based on our unique regional characteristics. It permits a growing cross disciplinary approach which enriches our research and allows our university to collaborate at the highest level.
