Marks were awarded to the School of Crystallography for the quality of its teaching across all its taught courses by a Subject Review Panel. A maximum of 4 points per category was awarded for each of the Six Aspects of Provision. Courses included in the review were:
| MSc in Biomolecular Organisation |
| MSc in Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics |
| Adv.Cert. in Principles of Protein Structure (Internet Course) |
| Adv.Cert. in Protein Crystallography (Internet Course) |
| Adv.Cert. in Powder Diffraction (Internet Course) |
Aspects of Provision:
| CDCO | Curriculum Design, Content and Organisation |
| TLA | Teaching, Learning and Assessment |
