The Tertiary Education Commission has acknowledged the School of Biological Sciences as the national research leader in our discipline.
The latest PBRF rankings for research excellence show the “Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour” group to be ranked first of all universities in the country.
The “Biomedical” unit, composed of both Victoria University and our collaborating group in the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, was also ranked as the national leaders, well above Auckland and Otago University teams.
In addition the quality scores of our “Molecular, Cellular and Whole Organism Biology” team ranked us as first equal in the national assessment.
These rankings acknowledge the outstanding research performance of the school’s academic staff and research students. The school offers a vibrant and exciting environment for academics and students alike, which is clearly reflected in these rankings.
