Research Strategy

Three key strategic objectives have been identified for research at St Mary’s University College:

Develop a profile of knowledge from research that informs and enhances learning and teaching in the College.
Produce high quality research output with a focus on educational issues, but not limited to such issues.
Maintain a support service that enables, encourages and facilitates engagement with research and scholarship.

 

Social Media

 

The College’s research social media account on X (@StMarysResearch) is used to disseminate success stories by academic staff in connection to their research.

Staff Research Interests

The current or most recent research interests of academic staff offer a brief personal insight into each member’s field of research that relates to their scholarly activities and their students’ learning.

Archive Of Research-Related News

An archive of research news provides an historical account of research-related activities involving the College’s community of researchers. In this regard, the Research Office produces research newsletters in each academic year outlining successes and achievements in research by academic staff. These include news on publications, presentations at academic conferences, funded research projects, other types of activities, and staff research profiles.

Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series (KESS)

The College is involved with research seminars delivered through the Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series, which is an annual programme of research seminars and academic workshops established in 2011 by the Northern Ireland Assembly’s Research and Information Service in collaboration with local universities. Currently, the university partners include Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University, The Open University, Stranmillis University College Belfast and St Mary’s University College Belfast.
