Research Excellence

World leading Research and Impact

At the University of Wolverhampton, we are passionate about making a positive impact on our students, our local community and beyond.  Through collaboration and multi-disciplinary projects, our research contributes to public debate, creates solutions to local, national and global challenges, and preserves and promotes cultural works of international significance.  By advancing knowledge, and bringing together excellence and innovation, we challenge perceptions and seek to change the world for the better. 

Visit our impact pages and Research News for more information.

Equality and Inclusivity

As the University of Opportunity, we are fully committed to promoting and enabling equality of opportunity and demonstrating inclusivity for all our staff and students.  Part of this commitment is to ensure we have a Gender Equality Plan (GEP) for the institution, which can be found here.  The University of Wolverhampton’s GEP aligns with the mandatory and recommended requirements of the Horizon Europe programme GEP.

Our REF2021 submission was not only the largest but also the most inclusive submission we made to date. This was recognised by the assessors who commented on our commitment to, and progress with, equality, diversity and inclusion.
