26 Research Intensive Universities Research Intensive Universities Throughout this guide you may have noticed the term research intensive universities or RIUs being used. By taking part in RO, you will learn more about these kind of universities, and you can also find some information on this page. What are RIUs? Research intensive universities (RIUs) focus on performing research alongside teaching their students. RIUs produce high quality research which makes new discoveries possible, and contributes to increased knowledge for the good of society; RIUs seek to address global problems with cutting edge research. As such, teaching is research-led in a vibrant environment which makes for an exceptional student learning experience. What are the benefits of attending an RIU? All of the RO Partner universities are RIUs; as an RO student you have access to them and will be visiting RIUs during your time on the programme. You can see examples of the research undertaken by RO Partner universities on their websites. l Top careers guidance and strong links with business. l World-renowned reputations which are highly valued by employers. Applying to study at an RIU can often be competitive, due to the wide range of benefits these institutions can offer students. However, by taking part in the RO programme you will develop skills and gain knowledge that will help you to submit a strong and well-informed university application. As an RO student, if you apply to RO Partner universities, you may be eligible for an alternative offer of up to two A level grades (or equivalent) lower than the standard offer; this is reliant on your successful completion of the programme. Read the RO Recognition Guide on the RO website for full information. This means that the RO Partner universities have: l Leading academics and tutors, who are experts in their field. l Vibrant learning environments where new discoveries are being made and problems are solved. l Cutting edge facilities thanks to the investment associated with research. 25
