Welcome
Welcome to this guide to public events at the University of Leicester in the Autumn of 2008. I am certain you will find many activities in this guide that are of great interest and I warmly invite you to join us for them at our campus.
Our roots are firmly in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland but the impact of our work is global. The discovery of DNA Genetic Fingerprinting is our most famous achievement but our world class research is diverse and significant in its impact. For example, our recent work has demonstrated links between hormones and heart disease, discovered new techniques for lifting fingerprints from metals (for example bullets), highlighted that Renaissance England possessed unprecedented diverse and flourishing satire and comedy, and demonstrated that diet has a significant impact on the evolution of species. Professor Robert Burgess, Vice-Chancellor Work such as this has led Leicester to be ranked as one of the UK’s leading universities. Described by the Independent’s 2009 Complete University Guide as a “first class university” the Guide ranks Leicester 12th out of Britain’s 113 universities.
We believe that higher education is a power for good and makes a significant intellectual and economic contribution to the world. I hope you will join us for the events in this guide and through this will discover more about our important work.
