Annual Review 2008

The Annual Review is an excellent opportunity for us to share the many achievements of a year which saw us reposition BU among the nation's universities. Particular highlights include:

Our ranking as the UK's number one new University, according to The Guardian University Guide 2009
Our remarkable performance in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise which saw BU emerge as the fourth most improved University in the UK for the quality of its research
Our excellent report from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, which awarded BU the highest category of confidence in the maintenance of its academic standards and the enhancement of its quality

For the first time in our history, we present an interactive Annual Review which allows people from inside and outside the University to speak, via vodcast, on the leading issues and successes that are shaping BU for the present and the future.
