Research in the School of Science and Technology

Science and Technology, The University of NorthamptonResearch and knowledge transfer in The University of Northampton's School of Science and Technology covers a wide range of disciplines, with a strong focus on applied technological and scientific approaches to solving societal issues. 

The school's specialist research centres and groups cover the following areas:

All academic staff within the school are members of one or more of these groupings, and many work with external organisations on projects delivering knowledge transfer.  Staff publish in prestigious, peer reviewed journals and regularly present their work at national and international conferences, as well as writing books, convening conferences and editing journals.

For businesses and other organisations that require long-term strategic partnerships, the school has a significant track record of securing funding through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), which offer significant resources and support to partners at a fraction of normal costs.

Postgraduate provision

The School of Science and Technology uses the expertise of its academic staff to form dedicated supervisory teams that support and advise both full-time and part-time PhD and MPhil students. Research students in the school are currently undertaking projects in a number of areas including Leather Technology, Wastes and Resource Management, Physical Geography, Computing and Artificial Intelligence, Conservation of Biodiversity and High Performance Engineering.
