The last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) was conducted in 2001, before UMIST and The Victoria University of Manchester merged to become The University of Manchester. At that time every department assessed gained a 5*, 5 or 4 rating - meaning the University has achieved excellent levels of research quality. For more in depth information, see the RAE page. Employability

Similarly, John Owens, a Manchester textile merchant, bequeathed £96,942 in 1846 for the purpose of founding a college for the education of males on non-sectarian lines.

哦,这样啊。合并后确实很厉害。大家预测能不能超过爱丁堡呢?
能:victory: 只是时间问题
爱大就象个老头子, 实力还是挺强的, 不过咱MAN也不是省油的灯, 实力仲伯拉.
