Research

Our research plays a major role in supporting what we teach you, and directly helps organisations to solve real world issues. We believe that applied research is an essential feature of a university like ours.

We have a number of research groups which combine the best of both worlds by having strong connections with the Derbyshire region and active international links. Their work often contributes directly to the development and well-being of the region.
