Outcome of RAE 2008 for the School of Arts and Humanities - ‘pleasing and positive’
Steven Matthews, Assistant Dean (Research and Consultancy) writes:
‘The outcome of RAE 2008 for the School of Arts and Humanities has been especially pleasing and positive. Everywhere, there has been a movement forward in the recognized standards of our research from the rankings in 2001. In several cases, including Art and Design, Art History, and Music, we have risen strongly up the national league tables. Much of our work has been scored as being of 'international quality' or above, with History, English, and Art and Design performing at over 90% on this measure. Particularly pleasing is the amount of our research which has been ranked in the highest two categories: 3* ('internationally excellent') and 4* ('world leading'). Taken department by department submitted, this is the breakdown of our work in these categories:
- French 35%
- English 40%
- History 65%
- Art 30%
- History of Art 55%
- Music 35%
We look forward to building ambitiously on these exciting results across the next phase of our research development'.
