伦敦大学高级研究院学校介绍学校名称： 伦敦大学高级研究院外文名称： School of Advanced Study简称： SAS创办时间： 1994年类别： 公立大学所属地区： 英国伦敦主要院系： 法律，哲学，文学，历史，文化定位： 世界顶级人文学科教育及研究机构排名：不参加任何排名Why is the School omitted from university ranking tables?The School is not included in most university rankings tables, for exampleThe TimesGood University Guide, The Complete University Guide,Times Higher EducationWorld University Rankings and the QS World University Rankings. There are two main reasons for this:Many of the ranking tables do not include postgraduate-only institutions. So the School is not included because it is a specialist postgraduate-only institution and does not teach at undergraduate level.The School is a unique institution. It receives special funding directly from HEFCE for its national mission to support and promote research in the humanities and social sciences; the only institution in the UK to receive national funding for this purpose. Its central role then is to support the research of others and this is reflected in the excellence of its research support and promotion activities. It is, therefore, difficult to compare the School with other higher education institutions. For this reason, the School does not enter the REF, the UK’s Research Assessment Framework (formerly the Research Assessment Exercise), which is used to measure the research excellence of universities in the UK. Instead it undergoes separate periodic reviews to ensure its work and activities continue to justify its special funding.
