The University of Manchester has smashed the "Golden Triangle" of research universities traditionally dominated by Oxford, Cambridge and London, according to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, published today.

Based on any analysis of today's results, Manchester emerges amongst the country's top four or five universities and is proving competitive with the University College London and Imperial College and just behind Oxford and Cambridge.

65% of research staff (amounting to 1,193 full-time equivalent staff) at The University of Manchester are judged to be carrying out work which is "world-leading" (4*) or "internationally excellent" (3*).

Professor Alan Gilbert, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Manchester, said: "These results vindicate the decision to merge UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester in 2004 and justifies our massive investment in new staff and facilities since then."
