The REF is the biggest assessment of research excellence in the world. Over the past year, panels of academics, policy makers and industry experts have read and analysed over 185,000 research outputs and impact case studies produced by more than 76,000 UK academics.
The results are used to distribute around £2 billion of research funding every year to UK universities.
The university will now undertake a detailed analysis to identify areas of research that would benefit from further investment.
