Music's RAE Success

The world-class excellence of research in the School of Music has once more been confirmed by the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). Almost a third of our published work was rated as 'World-leading research', and overall 70% of our research activity was assessed as 'World-leading' or 'Internationally Excellent'.

Professor Andrew Lewis, acting Head of Music, commented: 'This very welcome result confirms our place among the very best Music researchers in the UK and internationally. It supports our view that high quality teaching and world-class research must go together, and is official recognition that our students are being taught by world-leading experts in their fields.'
