University of Bristol

IP Group signed its partnership with the University of Bristol in December 2005. Bristol is a world leader in subjects ranging from aerospace engineering to biochemistry, classics to mathematics, clinical neuroscience to policy studies and the University of Bristol is one of the leading research universities in the UK.

In the RAE 2008, over 61 per cent of the research work assessed in 48 research fields at Bristol was awarded either the top 4* rating, defined as ‘world leading’, or the 3* rating, classed as ‘internationally excellent’. The quality of Bristol's research in geography emerged as first equal with Cambridge in the UK.

Taking into account the 2* rating – defined as ‘recognised internationally’ – as well as the 3* and 4* ones, nearly 93 per cent of research at Bristol has been deemed to be of international standard. Over 90 per cent of eligible staff at Bristol were included in the University’s Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) submission – thought to be one of the highest percentages in the sector.
