Since then it has encompassed both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and grown steadily in scale and in reputation. Now one of the largest schools of its kind in the world, with more than 220 academic and research staff, and over 1000 students, it has an unparalleled reputation for the quality of its teaching and degree programmes, as much as for its contribution at the leading edge of research and new technology. One of the most highly-rated and successful of all United Kingdom university departments, the School of Electronics and Computer Science at Southampton is pre-eminent in both research and teaching in Computer Science, Electronics, and Electrical Engineering. Southampton researchers have made an outstanding contribution to the development of these subjects over the years and continue to lead the world in areas such as agent-based computing, microelectronics, fibre optics, and the development of the Grid. The School consistently achieves the highest ratings for both its research and teaching (5* in both Computer Science and Electrical and Electronic Engineering in RAE 2001, and now rated 6* by HEFCE); it holds some of the countrys largest research council grants, and it has collaborations and partnerships with leading companies and agencies around the world.
