Research
The pursuit of internationally recognised research is one of the
major strategic objectives of the Faculty of Education and Theology
and this informs all aspects of our work. Staff are engaged in
individual research projects and in a range of collaborative
projects within the UK and throughout the world.
Our research activity ensures that
undergraduate and postgraduate teaching is informed by cutting edge
data and debates informing both the theoretical and professional
aspects of our programmes. The Faculty has a growing number
of research students who have the opportunity to be involved in
various teaching activities and are offered the option of studying
a postgraduate module which is designed to develop the skills as
future researchers and academics.
A large number of articles, monographs, edited books and
research reports have been produced in the Faculty over the last

involvement in a series of international conferences, high-profile
public lectures and membership of internationally recognised
journals testify to the vitality and excellence of our
research.
Our research interests can broadly be grouped into the
