We have close collaborations and partnerships with a number of other universities, research organisations and institutions around the world. Some are international university partnerships, enhancing our position as a globally connected University, while others are UK collaborations covering a range of academic disciplines, research and other more specific endeavours. And we’re as respected for our teaching and business collaborations as for our research. We’re ranked fourth in Europe for our teaching and learning environment (Times Higher Education Europe Teaching Rankings 2018). Some of our outstanding teachers are regarded as among the very best in the UK and many of our teachers are among the world’s best researchers. This means that, regardless of subject, students have access to some of the latest innovation and thinking. We also apply this innovative, cutting-edge research to industry challenges, working with businesses from global corporates to SMEs and local start-ups. Our pursuit of excellence and intellectual curiosity is tireless and we’re renowned for our entrepreneurialism and cosmopolitan outlook.
