Research at Kingston University

Professor Penny SparkeOur reputation for high quality, innovative research has developed very rapidly over the last few years as a result of the significant investment that we have made in this area, and it continues to grow.


We have consolidated our research strengths through the creation of centres of research excellence and are committed to providing a supportive environment for research and to the encouragement of a pervasive research culture. We have a growing number of active international collaborations, and our expanding community of home and international research students contributes significantly to our success.
