College-level Research Structure

The University adopts a structured approach to research development through a clearly defined implementation framework. Each college identifies a Main Research Theme guiding all research activities.

Each college selects a Main Research Theme for a fixed period.
Staff in related fields form Research Clusters within programmes.
Each cluster works on a derived sub-theme from the college’s main theme.
Clusters mature into Research Centres of Excellence (RCOEs).
Each RCOE is led by a senior academic staff member responsible for its progress and activities.

University Research Office (URO)

Managed by the Director of Research and Postgraduate Studies, the URO is responsible for:

Daily administration of university-level research activities.
Coordinating activities of all RCOEs.
Processing funding applications and research permits.
Maintaining relationships with external partners and sponsors.
