Research
NUCA entered the national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 1996 with funding awarded to develop capability.
In the 2008 RAE submission 35% of NUCA’s submitted research was confirmed to be ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ and the Times Higher RAE ‘league table’ placed NUCA joint 34th out of 72 HEIs.
The RAE report complimented NUCA’s ‘good regional context for research’ and ‘the significant impact of international initiatives’. Additionally it noted NUCA's national contribution evidenced by ‘the programming of major festivals and exhibitions’, ‘addresses to, and chairs of, major conferences’ and ‘influence evidenced through Editorial Board and committee membership’.
Staff research groups are focused in five areas:
- Animation and Sound
- Art and Design Curation
- Art and Design Interpretation and Curation

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
