There’s never been a more exciting time to join us. At the University of Leicester we are enjoying research success on a world stage and gathering the awards and plaudits to match.
When winning University of the Year 2008-9 we were described as “elite without being elitist”. We are proud to be elite. But we are at least as proud to be an inclusive and progressive university. This commitment to high quality, an inclusive academic culture and belief in the synergy of teaching and research are our hallmarks. We believe that teaching is inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world-changing research that is delivered in an academic community that includes postgraduate as well as undergraduate students.
Our research impact, measured by citations per academic, is the sixth highest in the UK. Our success in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise saw Quality Related research income rise by 18% placing us firmly amongst Britain’s top 20 research universities by this measure. The RAE also revealed that Leicester is home to Britain’s top-rated research department – Museum Studies – which has the highest concentration of world class research of any department of any discipline in the UK.
We believe teaching and research are synergistic; the National Student Survey reveals that 91% of full-time students are satisfied with their courses. Consistently amongst the best in the country, this 2009 result is matched only by Cambridge amongst mainstream universities in England.
Currently a University of 23,000 students, with a turnover of £230m and 3,800 colleagues, our future is bright. Already ranked in the top-15 universities in Britain, by 2015 we aim to rise further to become top-10.
It is a cornerstone of our success that we are the only top-15 UK university to meet Government benchmarks on inclusivity. At Leicester we are proud of our distinct approach, our achievements and our ambitious plans.
