RESEARCH PROFILE
- 2008 RAE Divisional Results: 75% of research activity in the Division was rated as world leading or internationally excellent
- Research income: The expansion of the Division's research capacity over the last 3 years is reflected in the growth of competitively won research income which has increased to over £20M in 2008/2009. This is primarily due the award of 3 strategic grants, one which the Division led on and 2 which the division jointly partnered on with other divisions/institutions
