Virtual Postgraduate Research Open Evening

We’re excited to be holding our virtual Postgraduate Research Open Evening on Thursday 14th December 2023. This event offers the perfect opportunity to explore what the University of Wolverhampton has to offer.

In the most recent Research Excellence Framework exercise, the University achieved its best ever results. In REF2021 the University of Wolverhampton has significantly grown its research and submitted 4 new subject areas and 75% more staff than in REF2014. The results show that more than half of our research is judged as internationally excellent (3*) and world-leading (4*).

Over the last 20 years, we have invested heavily in growing our research activity, establishing Research Centres, initiatives and inter-disciplinary Institutes to propel our research strategy.

As key generators of research inquiry and output, they help to create an environment where scholars, students and our research collaborators have the freedom to explore ideas and make an impact through world-leading research.
