Research

As a research-led university, University of Nottingham academics are at the cutting-edge of their disciplines. They work across boundaries to bring their unique perspectives to bear on the global challenges facing society. They are also fully committed to developing the next generation of researchers through expert and insightful supervision of our research degrees.

According to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, our departments have been recognised for their excellent research, impact and research environments. More than 90% of the School's impact case studies were rated as either 'World Leading' or 'Internationally Excellent' and within each Department more than 75% of the research submitted was rated at the same, high level.
