The school is particularly strong in internationally recognised research in areas such Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and Ethical and social implication of ICT – ranked third among modern UK universities for research power in REF2014 and rated 151-200 in the 2021 Shanghai Index – the Academic Ranking of World Universities. Furthermore, our outstanding Cyber Security work means that we are recognized by the National Cyber Security Centre as a Centre of Excellence for both Education and Research in Cyber Security, one of only six institutions in the UK to have achieved both awards.
The school has developed strong relationships with industry and has partnered up with organisations such as Airbus, BT, Deloitte, IBM and Rolls-Royce. Such close relationships enable us to drive our research and embed employability throughout our curriculum to provide the best opportunities possible for students in relation to mentorship, placements and employability after graduation, as well as allowing us to provide state-of-the-art real-world solutions in both our research and teaching.
