The University has a rich and diverse profile of research and enterprise activity across a broad range of subjects. 

The Research and Enterprise Integrity Framework is the University’s primary regulatory and compliance document for research and enterprise integrity. It is the way in which the University ensures research and enterprise is conducted according to the highest standards of integrity.

Research governance is the robust management and monitoring of research within the context of the Research & Enterprise Integrity Framework. Research ethics play an important role in research governance. It is a set of principles aimed at ensuring the rights, dignity, safety and well-being of researchers, research participants, sentient animals, data subjects - and of society in general. These principles guide all research activities undertaken at, on behalf of, or under the auspices of the University, from its inception through to completion, the publication of results and beyond.
