Bodø University College conducts extensive research on its subject fields, in co-operation with national and international as well as local and regional participants. 

Research at BUC is particularly connected with the economy and development of companies and institutions (Bodø Graduate School of Business), social science (Faculty of Social Sciences), marine subjects (Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture) and knowledge related to several practical professions (School of Professional Studies).

Research is a fundamental part of the university strategy at BUC. See BUCs research strategy. The competence catalogue is also recommended. This is a list of all the employees, their fields and further links to different publications.
