Research

The University is a leading, internationally recognised higher education institution whose core business is the generation and dissemination of knowledge, which includes two key interdisciplinary science themes climate change and sustainable futures and Systems Biology. Climate change, loss of biodiversity, pollution, dwindling non-renewable resources, and population growth all contribute to the increasingly urgent global problems. These problems have complex and interrelated causes, and require complex and imaginative solutions. Science helps us to understand and quantify the problems we face and may help us to solve them.
