Collaborative and individual projects within the School have an enviable record of success in securing external funding. They have received awards from (among others) the British Academy, the Leverhulme Trust, the Loeb Classical Library Foundation and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The awards have funded PhD studentships, postdoctoral appointments, conferences, archaeological fieldwork, and replacement teaching costs to allow the completion of major publications.
The School is committed to broadening public engagement with its research, and to exploring ways in which its research can be used to benefit schools, the heritage and museum sector and beyond.
