Our research programmes are made up of students from across the world. Some students are studying and living here in the UK, while other students are based in their own country with periodic visits to the UK to see their supervisor.
The school has over 150 years of experience in educational research and draws researchers and teachers whose work addresses current issues affecting educational practitioners, theory, institutions and systems.
