Our research covers a diverse range of interdisciplinary areas, informs our teaching and has strong links with industry.
REF Results 2021 REF 2021 saw the School’s Research Environment classed as 100% ‘world leading’ and ranked #1 in the UK, with 97% of its research outputs considered ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ and the percentage awarded the highest 4* rating almost doubling since the previous (2014) exercise. Indeed, all of the School’s assessment scores increased over REF2014 values. Overall, the School of Computer Science was ranked 17th in the UK on output Grade Point Average and 19th on Research Power. The School maintains a position in the upper quartile of the UoA and is firmly established as a national and international centre for excellence in Computer Science research.
In the MRL, computer scientists, psychologists, sociologists, engineers, architects and artists collaborate to explore the potential of ubiquitous, mobile and mixed reality technologies to shape everyday life.
