Colleges and Schools

Research centres are the flagships of the University and represent our primary research strengths. While the nature of academic life at UWS provides many and varied opportunities for research to be conducted in colleges and their schools, the term 'research centre' identifies areas that have been recognised for achieving significant research maturity through externally review and benchmarks for quality and excellence.
