Research @ the School of Education
The School of Education (SoE) is home to a vibrant, inclusive, interdisciplinary research community. Our six research groups span diverse fields of learning and development across the life course, from the early years to higher education, to work-based and lifelong learning. Internationally-recognised researchers and researcher-practitioners work alongside early career researchers and doctoral students in an environment that encourages collaboration and critical dialogue. We work across the rich disciplinary and methodological traditions of educational research, including the humanities, social sciences, life sciences, and health sciences. Funding comes from a variety of organisations, including research councils, government departments, international agencies and charities.
