To produce increasing amounts of research with impact. In this context, research with impact is defined to include research that changes disciplinary thinking – discovery research; research that influences policy and practice – translational research; and research that can be taken to the market to generate economic activity – innovative research.
To offer our postgraduate (Masters and PhD) students a swift, secure and stimulating experience.
