For each Unit of Assessment (UoA) there is an overall quality profile. This is tabulated with data from the results of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008. It is not a 'like-for-like' comparison because the criteria for compiling the overall profiles have changed, but it does show the significant progress that has been made.
