The results of the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) confirm the Centre's international reputation for research excellence within the field of physical activity, nutrition and health. ENHS was rated first overall in the UK, achieved 100 per cent world-leading 4* impact and entered all research active staff for assessment.

100 per cent of the Centre's research outputs were considered to be in the top two categories (4* and 3*).

Furthermore, the University has recognised the work of ENHS as within a small group of research areas at the University who have ‘achieved particular distinction’ where Bristol University is confirmed as a world leader in research.

More details about the University's research assessment are available, including full REF 2014 results from the HEFCE and analysis and comment from national media.
