Transcript:

Something that will certainly be of interest to you is that Rexford is just 35 minutes from London airport. At Rexford we have a strong research capability. We came 7th out of 101 universities in last year’s research assessment, carried out by a government body and did particularly well in your particular subjects, engineering and science. Actually we got a top research grade of five for engineering, geography and computer sciences. One further point- and I know from talking to you individually that a number of you may be looking for some experience in industry after the course- is that all our science and engineering research departments have unusually close relationships with industry in the area.
