The Computer Laboratory obtained the following profile for its Computer Science and Informatics submission to the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 (RAE2008):
4* | 3* | 2* | 1* | Unclassified |
45 | 45 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
Although profiles are not rank ordered as part of the RAE2008, a commonly applied third-party ranking is via the Grade Point Average (GPA) of the profile. The Computer Laboratory's GPA is 4*0.45 + 3*0.45 + 2*0.10 +1*0.00 = 3.35, which is the highest of all the submissions to Computer Science and Informatics.
The Computer Laboratory also shares with the Department of Engineering and the Department of Material Science & Metallurgy the highest GPA among departments in Cambridge.
