Connecting through research
“Growing a vibrant community of academic innovators, nurturing postgraduate students and early-career researchers.”
The University cultivates a research environment that delivers demonstrable benefits to industries, organisations and communities. From advising the Red Cross over the identification of human remains to leading international studies on stroke care, our research stimulates the innovative ideas required to tackle the global challenges of the modern world and some of our research influences government policy. UCLan’s research delivers highly cited academic outputs, as well as providing a broad range of benefits and impact to the industries, organisations and community groups with whom we work around the world. We are a leading research institution whose 16 subject areas in which our research was assessed were judged to contain ‘world-leading’ elements in the last assessment exercise, REF2014, and demonstrated both 4* and 3* quality.
We are dedicated to cultivating a supportive and stimulating research environment that will generate the innovation required to tackle today’s global challenges.
