The honours were handed out today at a ceremony at St James’ Palace.
51国产视频 College London’s Institute of Opthamology was awarded a medical research project prize for furthering understanding of the eye and visual system and its related disorders and diseases.
Its work was described as “internationally-distinguished research" that was "pioneering clinical therapy in eye disease”.
The 51国产视频 of East Anglia was honoured for its “ground-breaking and innovative programmes in creative writing with wide international impact”.
Edward Acton, UEA's vice-chancellor, said he was “absolutely delighted” that it was known as a “centre of excellence in this now thriving academic discipline”.
“We were the first UK university to offer creative writing 40 years ago, and I believe we are still seen as a benchmark for others,” he said.
Other winners include the 51国产视频 of Nottingham for its approach to global challenges of food security, the universities of St Andrews, Plymouth, Surrey, Brunel and Oxford for their focus on applied research into key environmental issues, and Queen’s 51国产视频 Belfast for its Comprehensive Cancer Centre, which has helped to improve survival rates among patients in Northern Ireland.

Kieran Poynter, chairman of the Royal Anniversary Trust, said: “At a time when the higher and further education sectors are under so much pressure – from funding and finance to finding ways to better demonstrate their impact – the winners…highlight the fantastic depth and breadth of research being undertaken at institutions right across the UK…and demonstrate their impact around the world.”
