Our research areas

Our research community is internationally-regarded and supported by distinctive research centres.

Six departmental research units provide strong foci for much of our research. Each centre brings together internationally regarded researchers and a growing community of PhD students, and seeks to build networks with other research centres in the national and international spheres.
