Excellence in education and innovation
The University of Edinburgh is ranked as one of the UK's leading research universities in the Research Excellence Framework (2014). Based on the quality and breadth of its research, Edinburgh has been rated fourth in the UK and by far the most successful university in Scotland. Its submission was one of the largest and most comprehensive in the UK.
Edinburgh’s position as one of Britain’s leading research universities has been reaffirmed by the results of the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF).
The REF also placed the University as Scotland’s top-ranked research institution. Of the University’s research activity, 83% is in the highest categories - 4* and 3* - which are classified as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.
Veterinary, including Animal Bioscience, and Agricultural research has been ranked top in the UK with three quarters of the research and related activity has been judged to be 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent'.
This success has been particularly useful in promoting our vision for Livestock Improvement and Animal Health, as such we have been able to proactively contribute to UK policy on delivering bioscience solutions to global challenges in the Food Security, Climate Change and Healthy Ageing sectors.
