Institutional average results

The charts below indicate the average percentage 4*, and the average percentage at 3* or above, achieved by each institution. To calculate these averages, the results for each submission are weighted according to the number of FTE staff in the submission. The charts indicate:

    • That excellence was found in institutions with submissions of all sizes.
    • Three-quarters of the institutions had at least 10% of their submitted activity graded at 4*. One quarter had at least 30% graded at 3* or above.
    • Three-quarters of the institutions had at least 49% of their submitted activity graded at 3* or above. One quarter had at least 79% graded at 3* or above.  
    • Each element of the assessment – outputs, impact and environment – provided differentiation between institutions.
