The University of East London is a careers-first university, giving people from all walks of life access to education, industry, and cutting-edge research. Our research is participatory, inclusive, empowering, and impactful by design. It is driven by an urgent need to find long-lasting solutions to significant local and global challenges.
By actively seeking collaboration, we develop partnerships with local government and community organisations to explore and address challenges, issues and concerns as articulated by our community partners. We encourage their active participation and inclusion during the development and delivery of research projects, emphasising collaboration to deliver sustainable problem-solving. Our focus on communities lies not only in East London but also abroad: we are working with governments, universities and NGOs in countries currently including India, Zambia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Brazil.
