miracle~*良知&健康是最高的財富

自上一次2001年的RAE大學評比後，

終於等到2008年這次。

南安SOES海洋及地球科學學院在全英排名中，

以地球及環境科學領域中為第三，此領域包含了(環境科學、地質、地球物理、氣象學、海洋學及其相關領域)，僅次於UEA(東英格蘭大學)及Cambridge(劍橋大學)。

可喜可賀

[與2001年之差別在於下列說明]

The presentation of the results differs from that used in the previous 2001 RAE and assessments are presented in the form of a quality profile with the following definitions:

4* (the highest level: world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour);
3* (quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour but which nonetheless falls short of the highest standards of excellence);
2* (quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour);
1* (quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour); to
Unclassified (quality that falls below the standard of nationally recognised work. Or work which does not meet the published definition of research for the purposes of this assessment).
