From pioneering research into brain tumours to shopping habits in the 19th century, we have a growing research community that fosters a spirit of enquiry and a thirst for discovery.
All of our academic schools have areas of research strength, overseen by our established Research Institutes and Centres, many of which work closely with industry on large-scale projects.
In the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), our efforts in research were recognised with a £2 million investment - testament to dedicated, hardworking staff, and a mark of the University’s constant drive for discovery and innovation.

World Leading
Each member of staff and subject area that were evaluated by The Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014) were recognised as having world-leading elements. Particular areas of strength included the work by renowned Professor of Information Science Mike Thelwall and his team, whose research includes measuring the value of web pages (see case study). Other areas that were awarded with high praise include Health, History and Modern Languages Research.
The results mark a significant improvement for the University on the last national analysis of research, the Research Assessment exercise (2008).
Academic Institute of Medicine
The Academic Institute of Medicine (AIM) is the new Postgraduate Medical School of the University of Wolverhampton. The Institute builds on our current position as a leader in health-related professional sciences and has developed through a close liaison and partnership with local NHS Trusts, taking us forward into the delivery of postgraduate medical education and research.
Purpose
A founding principle is that participation in the Institute will be inclusive, not exclusive or elitist, with doctors and other public health professionals encouraged to engage from all areas. This will enhance NHS staff skills and knowledge, leading to high quality patient care and improved service delivery.
The Institute currently has 30 Doctors studying its MSc Clinical Medicine.
