Research, business and partnerships

University of the YearOur founding motto in 1905 means “To discover the causes of things". Today, we continue to uphold our motto whilst acknowledging new ways of acquiring, investigating, developing and applying knowledge. Predominantly we achieve this through working in close collaboration with private and public sector partners such as Rolls-Royce, Boeing, GSK, Siemens, Yorkshire Water and AstraZeneca to translate our knowledge and expertise into real world solutions to real world problems.
