The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023 include 1,799 universities across 104 countries and regions, making them the largest and most diverse university rankings to date.

University of Leicester ranked the joint 163rd in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings which is the best performance since 2018. She also jumped from 27^th last year to 22^nd reaching the best ranks in the passing eight years.

As the first joint institute cooperating with UoL in China, DLI opens three programmes, BSc Chemistry, BEng Mechanical Engineering, and BEng Mathematics which cooperated with School of Chemistry, School of Engineering and School of Computing and Mathematics Science.

The School of Chemistry

The School of Chemistry is at the forefront of scientific discovery, with the impact felt on a global scale. The research is supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure and a wide range of equipment, facilities and technical expertise. The scientific research areas include Atmospheric Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Materials and Interfaces, Spectroscopy and Sustainable synthesis and catalysis, etc.

100% of our research assessed as 'world-leading' (4*) or 'internationally excellent' (3*), one of only six universities in the UK to achieve this distinction.

The School of Chemistry is ranked 22nd in the sector (out of 41 submissions) for the overall quality of our research in Chemistry (REF2021 Times Higher Education rankings).

The overall satisfaction rate is ranked the 7^th in the UK (Comprehensive guidance of 2019)

School of Engineering

The School of Engineering was founded in 1961 and houses a community of engineering scientists across a broad range of disciplines. It has a truly international collective, which shares a passion for engineering. It offers a range of specialist degree courses founded on a unified philosophy of engineering teaching, ensuring you receive the breadth of technical knowledge demanded of a professional engineer. The degrees are taught by leading researchers who offer a welcoming environment in which to learn. It is the aim to propel you towards a career in Engineering.

The School of Engineering is accredited by the IET, IMechE and InstMC, as well as by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Measurement and Control.

94% of our research outputs are judged to be ‘world-leading’ or 'internationally excellent’.

78% of our research overall was judged to be ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences

They provide a welcoming academic environment for undergraduate and postgraduate students to study maths and computer science courses. They pride themselves on their research, alongside extensive industry experience in a number of fields. All of this is reflected in their teaching of high-level and innovative courses. Also, they employ world-class faculty and collaborate with top researchers around the world to drive rapid development in the fields of algorithm design, logic and semantics, and software engineering.

The University’s research is ranked 30 in the UK in the Research Excellence Framework 2021, according to analysis by Times Higher Education.

The overall quality of research ranked in the top 30 of other UK universities and related colleges! -- 2021 Framework Rankings for Research Excellence (REF2021)

90% of research was judged to be ‘outstanding’ (4*) or ‘very considerable’ (3*) for overall quality -- the 2021 Research Framework Ranking for Excellence (REF2021)

100% of research environments was judged to be ‘outstanding’ (4*) or ‘very considerable’ (3*) -- the 2021 Research Framework Ranking for Excellence (REF2021)

End

The UK’s Research Excellence Framework (REF) is one of the world’s most pre-eminent national assessment exercises and its outcomes are eagerly anticipated by the research community both within, and beyond, the UK. REF evaluates the research status and strength of different disciplines in universities from three aspects: research achievements, research influence and research environment. Among them, scientific research achievements and influence mainly reflect the output of scientific research. For a university or a researcher, the number of "internationally leading" (4 stars) and "internationally excellent" (3 stars) in the REF evaluation is directly related to the academic reputation of the university and its teachers.

The excellent results achieved by the University of Leicester have opened up more possibilities for our two universities working together to explore the fields of natural science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In the future, the two universities will continue to carry out in-depth research exchanges in the academic and scientific research fields, combine the advantages of the disciplines and cultivate high-quality professionals with an international perspective.
