ONE UNIVERSITY WITH SIX KEY AREAS OF DISTINCTIVENESS There is substantial knowledge and expertise within the University that, when harnessed and shared, impacts positively on local businesses.

This has been proven time and again through knowledge transfer partnerships, our TogetherwithBusiness programme, the provision of quality short courses and commissioned CPD projects. The six areas of distinctiveness that we have focused on to develop our research, business engagement and portfolio are: Creative and Digital Technologies Social Justice and Crime Health and Wellbeing

Pedagogy/Learning and Teaching Sustainability These areas of distinctiveness are linked to our research centres and institutes including the DigiTech Centre, The Hold, our new Integrated Care Academy and the new Leadership Academy.
