Research Strategy
The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) results for Queen's University were outstanding, with Queen’s further strengthening its position as an international research-led university.
The University's priority is to achieve nationally and internationally recognised research excellence in all of its many varied disciplines, with world-class research in distinctive niches and thematic areas.
Areas of excellence at Queen's exist across the spectrum of research activity: from Creative Writing and Poetry to the design of new catalysts for cars; from Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies to Vascular Biology and its implications for Vision Science; from Cognition and Culture to Renewable Energy; and from Drug Design and Synthesis to Healthcare for the Mother and Child.
