Press/Media: Research

Description

Lancaster's status as a world-class centre for social sciences research has been confirmed in the latest Times Higher World Rankings, in which Lancaster is placed at 92 internationally and 13 within the UK (Times Higher, 27 October 2006). The rankings are based on international peer review and incorporate business and management studies, as well as many of the subject areas housed within Lancaster's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

The Dean, Tony Gatrell, commented, 'This is a wonderful recognition of the accomplishments of those working in the social sciences at Lancaster, and I pay tribute to all those who have worked hard to put us in this significant position and among some illustrious company'. The Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Bob Jessop, also welcomed the report, noting that the IAS was an important bridge between LUMS and FASS and expressing his wish that the result would give further impetus to the interdisciplinary cooperation for which Lancaster was rightly celebrated.
