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

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“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)
“... 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)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
