REF 2014: High ranking success and research impact
Research by Âé¶¹AV’s School of Social Sciences has been highly ranked across several disciplines and placed in the top 20 in the UK. Research covered a broad range of areas including health, social policy, modern languages and history. In all areas over 76% of outputs were rated as world leading and internationally excellent; in health this rose to a spectacular 95% of outputs.
The School’s Director of Research, Professor Jane Noyes expressed her delight at the REF 2014 results: “Our research is world class and makes a real difference. The high ranking of research across several areas is particularly rewarding and reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of the School. Students benefit from the research undertaken within our School, which informs multi-disciplinary teaching across the University. It is also pleasing to see the impact of our research recognised in an international context.â€
