Northumbria University is a research-intensive modern University, ranked 23rd in the UK for Research Power in the recent Research Excellence Framework. The Faculty of Engineering and Environment has relevant existing research strengths in Solar and Space Physics, Optical Communications, Quantum and Molecular Photonics, Photovoltaics, Electrical Power, Artificial Intelligence and Data Intensive Science, Earth observation, and Geography. Within the Faculty, the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering has recently been successful with significant funding for space technology research from the UK Space Agency, the Science and Technology Facilities Council, a high-profile industrial partner, and the Office for Students.
