Located in Bloomsbury, the Study Centre welcomes students across a range of masters programmes in areas such as business management, logistics and supply chain management, digital marketing and advertising.

We’re making a difference:

We’re research leaders in renewable energy, flood resilience, palliative and wound care, mental health and addiction, social justice, and the fight against modern slavery. Our research is helping students build successful careers in growth sectors like AI, flood risk management, social justice and renewable energy.

We’re helping to build the largest wind farms in the world, shaping UK national flood policy and investment, helping to protect hundreds of thousands of homes.

And we’re advising the UK Government on tackling exploitation and, through the Humber Modern Slavery Partnership, we are working with our partners and regional police forces to protect human rights. Together, we’re helping to prevent organised crime gangs from exploiting people and bringing the perpetrators of modern slavery to justice.

Our campus is now home to the Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Modelling (DAIM). DAIM takes a multi-faceted approach to the biggest technological opportunity and challenge of our age: how to responsibly harness AI for the benefit of humanity.

Leading with purpose:

We’re making sure our research delivers measurable benefits for our communities, locally and globally.
