REF Results 2021

An excellent result that places the University equal 4th in the Unit of Assessment for both GPA and the percentage of this that is judged as ‘world-leading’. Being a joint return with colleagues in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, direct comparisons to the school’s REF2014 return are very difficult, but the results show a demonstrable increase in the percentage of both ‘internationally excellent’ and ‘world-leading’ outputs, and a significant increase in those assessed as ‘world-leading’. The excellent research environment is confirmed as being 100% ‘world-leading’.
