    Research

    For SMEs the investment to resource progressive research programmes can be prohibitive. Companies looking to create revolutionary products, who can identify and access cutting edge, exploratory research at a fraction of the cost of undertaking it in-house, have a key competitive advantage. This is why many of the world’s most innovative businesses get their best ideas from academic research.

    Working with Oxford Brookes brings significant benefits to your organisation. We undertake research collaborations that foster innovation and can propel your business towards better financial performance and efficiency, bringing long-term growth and success.

    As part of our research engagement we have worked with regional, national, and global organisations, including corporates, government bodies and local authorities.

    Our dedicated Research and Business Development Office can facilitate introductions across the University, help you explore our expertise and discuss the best way for us to work together.

    In The Research Excellence Framework 2014 which assessed the work of British higher education institutions, Oxford Brookes rated 94% for ‘internationally-recognised’ research and 59% for ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ research.
