We’ve got great links with the University of Brighton, local and regional industry, plus land-based businesses, which puts us in an excellent position to develop our well-respected research department. In fact, we’ve consistently produced many high quality projects in collaboration with, and for, a number of different institutions.

Research is also highly encouraged within Plumpton. If you’re a degree student, you’ll take on research projects throughout your course. Equally if you’re studying for a College-funded Master’s or Doctorate Degree, you’ll help to further your career and stay at the forefront of quality teaching. As a College, we carry out research through a variety of different channels: 

• Funded Research Projects
• South Downs National Park Research Hub - A collaborative research centre with the South Downs National Park Authority and the University of Brighton
• Wine Research  - The only wine research centre in the UK
• Individual Staff Research Interests
