A brand-new Research Goal is on the way
Research Institute

Faculties & Departments

ResearchGoal is organised as a research institute. Our academic work spans six faculties and thirty-seven departments, and every department is a distinct research field led by a Research Director. Together they form a global research community where scholars, professionals, and students publish, collaborate, and build a recognised academic record.

How the research community is organised

Each faculty is led by a Faculty Dean. Within a faculty, every department — a single research field — is led by a Research Director, who builds and manages that department's research team. Beneath the Research Director sit the research faculty (Senior, Associate, and Assistant Researchers), and at the entry point the Research Assistant, a student researcher building a profile to advance.
