Our world-class researchers are passionate about learning through innovation, and ensuring that our work is relevant to today’s ever-changing world. 

Our researchers go on to careers in academia and a diverse range of industries and organisations around the world.

Problem solvers

Our researchers help solve problems – whether helping companies turn their waste into biofuel or making supermarket delivery vans greener.

They’re currently:

  • working with Scottish Enterprise to help develop leadership skills in the tourism sector
  • collaborating with Police Scotland to train detectives in the latest cybercrime techniques
  • tackling Crohn's disease and other ailments alongside health charities

Those close relationships with the private, public and third sectors inform our teaching and research to the benefit of our students.
