For BNU, the UOAs in Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism (75%), and Social Work and Social Policy (67%), had the highest quality research output (3* or 4*). When it came to impact, the university’s UOAs in Art and Design, History, Practice and Theory (100%), and Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences (75%), were the best.
Based on the six subject-based units of assessment (UOA) the institute submitted, the REF 2021 results show that 44% of BNU research was rated as either world-leading (4*) or internationally excellent (3*). This acknowledges years of university-wide work. At least half of the research done in Art and Design, History, Practice, and Theory (60%), Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism (58%), and Social Work and Social Policy (50%), was world-leading or internationally excellent. Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences (49%), Education (17%), and Social Work and Social Policy were the three new promising UOAs that the university submitted. Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy (49%) also did well.

High Wycombe is the second largest town in Buckinghamshire. It is about halfway between London and Oxford. It’s not just an industrial hub; it’s also a market town, as shown by the busy stalls that fill the high street three days a week. This has been going on since the 1200s.
For students with different tastes and interests, the town has a modern shopping centre, a sports centre, an artificial ski centre, and a fun nightlife. The train ride to London takes only 40 minutes, and both Heathrow and Gatwick airports are easy to get to. Nursing students live in Uxbridge, which has a stop on the London Underground.
