Postgraduate research studies
Welcome
Research is the spirit of inquiry, the march of human intellect against the problems of the future. It is transformational, changes mere practitioners into experts and creates the knowledge that a university needs to create new courses, develop work with business, and help sustain the economy.
Southampton Solent University's research community thrives on the commitment of its staff and students. We
work in selected areas, on a wide variety of significant problems. In close partnership with our research students we seek to create new knowledge, whether through technical innovation, analysis, creative practice or the systematic codification of information. Knowledge creation rests on proper understanding of the domain in which it is situated, and excellence in scholarship is an essential underpinning. Research needs to be tested, and communication of results is fundamental to this process, where colleagues across the world are able to test and comment on professionally presented methodology and results. All researchers are therefore encouraged to publish their work or produce performances of high standing. The communities of practice in which we work are international, and opportunities for collaboration are equally cosmopolitan.
The areas where opportunities for research study at the University are currently available are listed here| Come and join us.
