Welcome
I am delighted to introduce the Manchester Metropolitan University´s Research Institute for Health and Social Change (RIHSC).
Researchers in RIHSC have achieved outstanding success in the recent national Research Assessment Exercise.
24.7 FTE researchers were submitted to UoA 12A (Allied Health Professions and Studies). 60% of the work was assessed as internationally recognised and 5% as world leading. This has resulted in a substantial improvement in our ranking across all universities and will generate a substantial increase to the QR funding for this area and to the University´s research income.
19.5 FTE researchers were submitted to UoA 40 (Social Work, Social Policy and Social Administration). 70 % of the work was assessed as internationally recognised and 5% as world leading. This has resulted in an improvement in our ranking across all universities and will generate a substantial increase to the QR funding for this area and to the University´s research income.
In addition, two RIHSC members contributed to the success of the UoA in Education, marking a considerable increase in research funding to the University.
This performance recognises our strengths in applied research in health and social change and reflects the positive and dynamic research environment.
Professor Carolyn Kagan
Director of the Research Institute
