of our research is officially rated ‘internationally excellent’ or ‘world-leading’ (REF 2014).
You’ll be inspired by our staff. From sculptors and Turner Prize winners to solicitors and top accountants, you will be taught by staff who come from and have maintained their links with the relevant industries and professions. They also carry out ground-breaking research too. Our research to improve health and well-being in some of London’s most disadvantaged communities won a Royal Society of Public Health award, while investigations for Unicef into the experiences of children living in conflict in Africa has influenced government policy and best practice throughout the world. In fact, we’ve almost doubled the amount of ‘world-leading’ research over the past six years and nine of our subjects are ranked among the top 50 in the UK.
