The school is no stranger to modern success. For example, the Sir Peter Mansfield Medical Imaging Centre, home to the Medical Physics research group, is named after the late Professor Sir Peter Mansfield. His work at Nottingham led to the the development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the award of the Nobel Prize in 2023. Twenty years later, the Centre is soon to be home to the UK’s most powerful MRI scanner.
You too can follow in the footsteps of Professor Mansfield by joining one of the programmes offered by a school ranked second only to the Cambridge over the last three REF assessments for research quality.
The Research Excellence Framework (REF) reviews the quality, impact, and scope of research at UK universities. With 98% of the university’s research classified as “world-leading” (4*) or “internationally excellent” (3*), students benefit from the academic excellence of the research in the school. This includes the opportunity to apply for paid summer internships to work directly with researchers on key projects.
