As the enterprise university, it delivers outstanding economic, social and cultural impact for business, the public sector and the wider community. Plymouth is one of the top 50 UK universities for research, the results of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise showing that the majority of the areas submitted by the University included world-leading research, achieving the highest rating possible. Overall, 80% of the research was judged as being of international repute. At the University, we see our researchers as innovators and entrepreneurs and value people who are passionate about delivering excellent, sustainable research. We encourage interdisciplinary working, urging researchers to develop synergies across different research subjects, both within and beyond the University. The University now seeks to build on its success through a programme of fully-funded research studentships for EU/UK nationals and home fees only studentships for non EU nationals.
