CSE has the greatest breadth in The Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) Initiative

13 February 2011

UNSW reached the threshold on more of the Information Technology (08) areas in the ERA than any other Australian university with rankings in Computer Software, Distributed Computing and Library and Information studies, Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing, and Information Systems. UNSW was the only Australian University to make the rankings for Computer Software and Distributed Computing!

An overall score of 4 ranks UNSW's research above the global average, however, the most telling part of the report is in the number of subcategories where UNSW is on par or above the global average - five for UNSW whereas the next highest university made par in only two.
