Our research is rich and diverse; with members of our staff conducting internationally recognised and world leading research. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, 80% of research within the School was judged to be of international quality.
Particularly strong areas include:
- Communication
- Culture and Media Studies
- English
- French
- History
Our researchers work in collaboration with a range of scholars from across the academic community in Britain and Ireland as well as in North America, continental Europe and the Far East. This has the benefit of creating a varied and informed research community with links throughout the world that enhance the experience of research staff and research students as well as feeding in to the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum. The international perspective helps to attract research students from across the world.
Our research is funded by various bodies, including:
