Research at Goldsmiths
The wealth of research activity at Goldsmiths engages with society at all levels: our staff and students collaborate with many people and organisations beyond the university to develop new ideas, enhance understanding of human and social behaviour, stimulate debate on matters of public interest and policy, and enrich cultural experience and practices.
Goldsmiths Research Documentaries
We are a member of the 1994 Group of the UK’s leading research universities, and the national assessment exercise carried out in 2008 placed us in the top ten universities for the proportion of our research recognised to be ‘world-leading’. New and exciting projects are starting all the time, and our work attracts support from many different funding agencies: for example, over the last 18 months the European Research Council has awarded more than €6 million to 5 new research programmes led by our staff. - Jane Powell, Pro-Warden - Research and Enterprise
With a world-class reputation for creativity and innovation and a commitment to encouraging inter-disciplinary collaboration, Goldsmiths provides researchers with a unique intellectual environment in which to pursue their studies. Whilst benefiting from the wide-ranging resources of the University of London, Goldsmiths also offers all the advantages of a small, campus-based College. The College belongs to the prestigious 1994 Group of Research Universities and our consistently excellent performance is reflected in our RAE Rating.
Goldsmiths' standing as a premier research institution rests firmly on the achievements of its staff and students, however, we support their endeavours in several ways. Attached to the Research Office our Business Development Office integrates the College into the community and aims to bring together business and research interests; the Research Office helps academic staff to secure Research Funding. Research News can give a valuable insight into what's 'hot' and what's 'got' in terms of the latest developments in the university's research success and the Research arena in general.
We offer a transformative experience, generating knowledge and stimulating self-discovery through creative, radical and intelllectually rigorous thinking and practice. If you would like to know more about joining the Goldsmiths Research Community, please contact us.
