Research Centres

Research Programmes are organised through a 'pillar' type structure within the Research University whereby defined areas of specialism/potential centres of excellence evolve and support interdisciplinary research programmes. The research strategy being pursued is one which seeks to further strengthen the capacity of the University in a manner which will both enhance the educational programme being offered to our students and also enable us to serve the economic, social and cultural life of the region. In addition to the funded research, significant research work is being undertaken by staff members as part of their studies in Masters and PhD programmes.
