In the latest Research Excellence Framework (2021) Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ entered more than twice the number of staff than in 2014 when it made its REF debut.  All subject areas submitted were assessed as including a high percentage of ‘internationally significant’ work, while five subject areas – Education, History, Sport, Social Work and Social Policy, and English – were also assessed to produce work of ‘world-leading’ quality – the highest possible grade.

Research is an important part of scholarly activity at Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ, indeed one of the great benefits to undergraduate students at Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ is that they are taught by research active staff passionate about sharing the new knowledge they generated to students. The ethos of a scholarly community espoused by Saint John Henry Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ is alive within Birmingham Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ University, therefore the development of early career researchers, as well as supporting established readers and professors, is an important aspect of Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ’s research strategy.
