Research environment
Our reputation as a centre for outstanding research continues to grow.
Our vision for generating impactful research is ambitious. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF), ARU submitted research in 16 subject areas, and nine of those have achieved world-leading impact.
In research institutes and groups, our experts are exploring areas of vital concern such as tackling eye disease, and directing investment in climate change solutions.
Support for researchers
We've invested £122 million in state-of-the-art facilities, with more on the way. And we offer a supportive environment where all research-active staff and postgraduate students can excel. This includes:
- dedicated help with funding applications from our Research Innovation Funding Team
- a comprehensive Researcher Development Programme for early career researchers, students and their supervisors
- a commitment to researchers' long-term career development
- an open access repository, Anglia Ruskin Research Online, which showcases and preserves the research outputs of our University community.
