Research at Kingston University

The committed and lively research culture at Kingston means we can provide you with:

Cutting-edge study

The last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2001 judged the majority of Kingston’s research as being of at least national and, in several subjects, of international excellence.

Our staff feed this expertise into their teaching, which means you can be sure you're covering the most up-to-date thinking.

External links

Many of our researchers work with a range of external sponsors. These connections allow us to:

  • link academia with the real world;
  • take fresh thinking into the workplace; and
  • challenge convention.

For example, the Small Business Research Centre has undertaken work for sponsors including HSBC and the Bank of England.

The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing's emphasis on commercially-useful research means its research groups have worked with companies such as Jaguar Cars, Dunlop Aviation and the Environment Agency.
