As well as our established Centres of Research Excellence, we have many other active research centres, groups, institutes and clusters. Featured below are some of our emerging groups that are playing an increasing role in research at Kingston.

Design Research at Kingston University is developed through three distinct specialist areas of excellence and innovation, which inform and support postgraduate research, the creative industries and wider cultural and public realms: Designed Environments; Design for Body & Material; Design for Communication & Image.
CHK is an interdisciplinary research group centred on the concept of the 'cultural text'. The group includes scholars from different disciplines who are brought together by a shared interest in the way in which narratives have shaped individual and communal experience, material culture, and everyday life.
