The Faculty of Education, Law and Social Sciences (ELSS) and the Centre for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) has integrated their research into a new Centre of Excellence called the Centre for Research in Education. The new Centre brings together two broad but interlinked areas of research activity, creating a large critical mass of some 30 research-active staff with a range of expertise across the entire age spectrum from early years to higher education and adult learning.
The Research in Academic Practice Group, basing itself largely but not exclusively on the established work of CELT conducts high-quality research into learning and teaching in Higher Education, possessing a strong zeal for innovative and creative teaching and learning methods.
CRE strongly supports the development of staff as researchers in higher education learning and teaching, and in their own discipline and actively encourages the development of a ‘learning environment’ across the University.
