Activity Strengths

Strengths

Research is essential to our mission to build an institution that responds to the needs of its region and enhances the region's cultural, economic, environmental and educational development.

Much of our research activity is applied in nature, but specific basic research is also promoted in areas that correspond to the academic strengths of individuals and research groups. Research at UWS is defined as critical and creative activity undertaken on a systematic basis in order to extend knowledge and understanding and/or solve practical or theoretical problems.

UWS's research performance has shown continued growth measured against key indicators such as external funding outcomes. Our research 'fact sheets' - Research Directions, provide detail of specific research activity and recent successes.
