Science research at AUT University
Strategic Research Areas
To engage in scientific innovation and excellence that better enables society to develop in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner.
Strategic Research Areas:
The School has three strategic research areas (Applied Ecology, Biomedical Science and Biotechnology, Food Science and Product Development). These focus on key scientific issues with regional and global significance. The common theme connecting all research areas is sustainability – in the broadest sense as it relates to environmental and human health. Sub-themes within the strategic research areas reflect staff expertise and international recognition for our research output. Our research is closely allied to teaching and learning opportunities at undergraduate and postgraduate level within the School.
