The RAE 2008 report is out and confirmed that our University is ranked seven in terms of research. A really world-class university don't you think? And how proud I am to be in one!
We had an email from our new Head of school congratulating everyone for the success. An excerpt of the email :
Our overall profile, across a combination of outputs, environment and esteem is:
30% of our activity graded 4* (world class) 50% of our activity graded 3* (internationally leading) 20% of our activity graded 2* (internationally recognised) 0% of our activity graded 1* (nationally recognised) 0% of our activity graded 0* (unclassified). This profile ranks us 8th among all UK Computer Science schools (both if you compute a grade point average and also if you rank profiles using pic medal table style). This is a fantastic achievement for the School and places us in the top 10% of UK CS schools.
Come to think of it, I wonder when this success will happen to our faculty or our university back home. They want to be world class but they don't want to me to study in a world class university. Part of their remarks when I try to apply for conversion from split to fulltime, if I have problem with my kids' medical, might as well I study in my home country...Can you believe that! They certainly don't know how to maximise opportunities...
