Ranking and student feedback
Description
Our research addresses three overarching themes, namely: climate, ocean and atmospheric interactions; the governance of resources and sustainability; and geosciences and natural hazards. Our research has major global influence. Results of the Times Higher Education Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) analysis ranked us first in the UK for research impact with 88% of our research ranked world-leading or internationally excellent. This is further exemplified by the QS World University Rankings 2019 in which we rank first in the world for paper citations in Marine and Earth Sciences, third for Geography and fourth for Environmental Sciences. Furthermore, no other university has made as substantial a contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as UEA. Our research is underpinned by excellent, well-funded facilities including the additions of a sea glider facility and an air-sea-ice chamber. Our facilities provide many opportunities for your research projects.
