Our strategy is fully aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and all research activity and knowledge advancements are quantified against these goals. We also strongly encourage collaboration across specialisms, and an MRes provides an opportunity to work with staff from various backgrounds to deliver truly impactful research.
