Working alongside other Universities such as Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton in the UK and Caen and Le Havre in France, the Business School has developed a strong research base for understanding the policy structure for the Channel. This work has influenced EU policy around the clustering of ports and marinas to increase economic growth and sustainable coastal communities and is now focusing on developing the renewable energy supply structure for wind, wave and tidal installations.
Our most developed research expertise is in subjects relating to early childhood, social work and social care which incorporate inter-professional working, transformations and leadership in the public sector workforce.

Our department research strategy is delivered under the Social Policy umbrella to support and increase the outputs of research-active staff and to meet the aims of the Research Excellence Framework and the Teaching Excellence Framework.
We host a programme of visiting lecturers and contemporary artists who bring additional professional experience to the University and provide input into distinctive specialist skills and practices.
