of research-intensive UK universities. The recent Research
Excellence Framework (REF) confirmed the position of the
University among the leading institutions in the UK for research.
The proportion of research activity of world-leading, 4* status is
among the highest of any UK university, and York is rated tenth
out of 155 higher education institutions for the impact of its
research.</p>
