The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008
We are delighted to announce the Division's success in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), published on 18th December 2008. This is the government's official ranking of university research and determines the distribution of £1.5 billion of funding. We are the top-rated centre for psychology in the country, emerging ahead of Cardiff, Birmingham, and Oxford, based on volume of high-quality research. 75% of our research in psychology was judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent. Our research in speech, language and communication (3rd nationally in Allied Health Professions), linguistics (6th), computer sciences (5th), and neuroscience (2nd) was also judged outstanding.

The Swan Award

|
We are pleased to announce that the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences has been awarded an Athena SWAN
silver award, for its work on advancing the careers of women scientists. These awards are made to universities or their departments that have shown significant progress in addressing the imbalance in career progressions of women vs men in science, engineering and technology (click here for information on the awards). Because the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences comprises eight research departments, this represents a significant step towards UCL's goal of achieving an institution-wide silver award. |
