Research & Expertise

King’s Arts & Humanities is a leading research force in demonstrating how the arts and humanities can answer society’s big questions.


 

Our faculty is distinctive in representing both longer established disciplines - such as Philosophy and Theology - and the more recently established disciplines, such as Digital Humanities and Culture, Media and Creative Industries. This rare combination affords us rich opportunities for interdisciplinarity collaboration and for social impact, as well as ground-breaking research.

We have exceptional disciplinary research strength, as has been reflected in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) submission:

  • 98 per cent of our research environment was deemed either ‘world leading’ (4*) or ‘internationally excellent’ (3*). 
  • 95 per cent of our research impact was deemed either 4* or 3*
  • 86 per cent of our research outputs were deemed either 4* or 3 *
