Anglia Ruskin University has recently joined a consortium with four other universities to further enhance opportunities for innovative research and creative practice, particularly within our postgraduate community.

The New London Graduate School (NLGS) brings together researchers in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the universities of Anglia Ruskin, East London, Greenwich, London South Bank and Middlesex. By combining our expertise, the NLGS offers a broad, stimulating and supportive intellectual environment for postgraduate study which will enable students to access a still greater range of events and research training.

Research students at these five universities will be able to attend seminars and other events at all five partner institutions. Future plans also include an exchange programme whereby students will be able to spend a semester working at a different university within the consortium, and a placements scheme, which will allow students to be attached to one of our commercial and cultural partners in order to undertake workplace based research.

The opportunities opened up by the NLGS are very much in tune with the research culture of ALSS, which is committed to the mutual reinforcement of theory and practice in teaching and research, and has a strong tradition of productive links with the creative industries.
