Engage
The University is committed to supporting funding for global engagement. Although a lot of interaction now happens through forms of remote media, such as video conferencing and Skype, the University understands that face to face meetings are key to developing lasting relationships. It is these relationships that are necessary for underpinning successful collaborations.
Global engagement funding

Funds are provided to help establish or develop sustainable research partnerships across all university faculties, and provide opportunities for postgraduates and researchers to develop their skills and international profile.
