Our flourishing research and scholarship culture celebrates and enables original investigation; extending knowledge fields and developing new understanding within the arts.
Our Research
By promoting the pursuit of innovation and creativity, we encourage opportunities for establishing and sharing best practice in research and foster the development of critical perspectives that have traditionally lain outside discrete disciplines. We encourage the use of reflective teaching and learning practices as part of an interactive relationship with research.
Staff research is supported from within AUB by grants for particular projects and by a Research Fellowship programme offering generous remission from teaching and administration. Researchers are also encouraged to apply for external funding for the full range of research from practice through history and theory.
Recent grants received include those from:
Our Research Futures Seminars Series offers opportunities for staff from across the university, at all career stages, to share their experience of research providing career planning support as well as advice on leading research teams and projects, writing and publication. All sessions are followed by lively debate. Training and advice is available to those intending to apply for external funding.
