The Martin Centre is the leading architectural research unit in Britain, with over four decades of successful research for government and industry, both nationally and internationally. The Centre was formed to undertake contract research, and has an active programme of postgraduate studies leading to
PhDs and
four Masters degrees.
Martin Centre projects typically cross traditional research boundaries: transportation and buildings, history and philosophy of architecture, digital media design and communication, risk assessment and mitigation in the built environment, and territorial conflict in divided cities. A rich environment of collaboration exists, with other Departments within the University, and with other institutions within the UK, Europe, the U.S, China, Africa and the Middle East. Research contracts, mainly funded by research councils, within the Martin Centre currently amount to in excess of £10 million.
The Martin Centre currently employs 70 researchers, including over 30 PhD students.
