RAE results

The recent 2008 Research Assessment Exercise confirms the place of Geography at Kings College London among the very best internationally.

With 70% of our research rated as 'internationally excellent' or 'world-leading', Geography at King's shares the third highest weighted average of some 49 Departments ranked by the Geography and Environmental Studies Unit of Assessment Panel.

The RAE results are testimony to our unique contributions to the understanding of gentrification, surface-atmosphere fluxes, and political ecology, as well as our success in developing new and distinctive work on hazards, eco-hydrology, and the urban environment that spans traditional divides within and between the social and environmental sciences.

Our international outlook and interdisciplinarity are defining features of our department and make Geography at King’s more than the sum of its constituent parts.
