The University’s research culture is founded on a pluralistic philosophy accommodating a range of approaches: doctrinal research, socio-legal research, interdisciplinary work as well as theoretical approaches (both analytical and continental). Strategic Investment Because MIU has a limited research budget, the University research profile is based on focus and selectivity. A number of research priority areas have therefore been selected and excellent researchers appointed to the research domains in which the University aims to reinforce its international profile.

Human Capital

Although teamwork and interdisciplinarity are key factors in many research areas, the University also realises that research achievements are the result of the excellence of individual researchers. The University therefore nurtures excellent researchers regardless of whether their work contributes yet to the strategic development of the University’s research areas. A MIU academic researcher, with his individual expertise and personal fascination for a particular discipline, is the public face of the University. He studies the world around us and passes on his knowledge to future generations. On this page you’ll find the main research topics of schools and departments at Miami International University.
