| 00:00 - 00:04 | Vice Chancellor, we have just received news of the REF results |
| 00:04 - 00:07 | As you can see, 84 per cent of our research is world leading or internationally excellent |
| 00:08 - 00:11 | This is seven per cent above the sector average and twice the level the University achieved in the previous REF Exercise |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | History and Sociology consolidated their positions at the top of the rankings, while Mathematics and Philosophy have ranked in the top ten |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Excellent. But what of the Government Department? |
| 00:24 - 00:25 | Erm ... Vice Chancellor ... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | I'm afraid ... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Government ranked 27th with a Grade Point Average of 2.9 |
| 00:34 - 00:37 | The panel judged the Department's submission to be theoretically impoverished |
| 00:53 - 00:57 | Anybody who's not in the Government Department, leave now |
