Changing the world
Our experts at Anglia Ruskin University have conducted research that is not only making a difference to the area it is involved with, but creating results that are changing our world.
Our research and scholarship strategy can be summarised in 4 goals. First to foster and support high quality research and scholarship; second to develop centres of international research excellence in selected areas; third to lead nationally in knowledge transfer; and fourth to ensure that all our academic activities take place in an atmosphere informed by research, knowledge transfer and scholarship.
We believe that a vibrant culture of research and scholarship is essential in the underpinning of a stimulating learning environment in which our staff and students can flourish and fulfil their potential.

Crime experienced by young people
We are one of eight partners from EU countries researching anti-social behaviour and crime experienced by young people in the periods immediately before and after the school day. The aim of the project, which is funded by the European Commission, is to develop an online toolkit which will offer advice to teachers and students on how to make journeys safer.

Cyber-bullying
A participatory project commissioned by young people found that 1 in 5 of young people questioned had experienced cyber-bullying. The findings highlighted the growing problem of cyber-bullying, the reasons for it and the impact it had on the confidence, self-esteem and mental and emotional wellbeing of young people targeted. A series of recommendations designed to address these problems have been proposed.

Helping people with glaucoma
We are improving the care for patients with glaucoma. A model developed by our Vision & Eye Research Unit for glaucoma referral refinement, which is carried out by specially trained community-based optometrists, has been shown to provide accurate onward referral without the loss of safety for patients. This has helped 300 patients to date with suspected glaucoma who have attended our glaucoma clinic thereby reducing the waiting and consultation times at the hospital without comprising the safety.
