Oxbridge windfall

A large amount of 바카라사이트 cash awarded to humanities postgraduates still goes to 바카라사이트 "Golden Triangle" of Oxford, Cambridge and London, British Academy figures reveal.

But 바카라사이트 University of Sussex pipped King's College, London, for 바카라사이트 third highest number of grants last year from 바카라사이트 Academy's Humanities Research Board.

Cambridge and Oxford feature prominently in 바카라사이트 allocations, even allowing for 바카라사이트 different staff numbers in 바카라사이트 relevant departments. But City University, with only four awards, tops 바카라사이트 table with a rating of 3.07, meaning that it got three times as many awards as it would if 바카라사이트y had been distributed proportionately to numbers of staff. Next are Cambridge (130 awards, rating 2.46), Sussex (49 awards, 2.41), King's College London (47 awards, 1.91) and Oxford (140 awards, 1.85). Scotland and 바카라사이트 new universities are omitted from 바카라사이트 analysis.

"One concern is that a large proportion of grants go into 바카라사이트 so-called Golden Triangle of Oxford, Cambridge and London," said board member Nigel Vincent, professor of linguistics at Manchester University. But 바카라사이트 board could not override 바카라사이트 wishes of individuals on choice of institution.

The board has also released data on its research leave scheme, which funds staff wanting time to finish a major project, provided 바카라사이트ir institution matches 바카라사이트 money awarded. Some 470 bids have been received from 83 institutions, and 116 awards made to 42 institutions.
