Postgraduate research programmes and courses at the School of Education, University of Birmingham, England, United Kingdom

Postgraduate Research

Professional development increasingly calls for expertise in carrying out evaluation and research in the workplace. The School of Education provides wide and varied opportunities to undertake research programmes that will support the growth of research skills and build on subject knowledge.

The School’s national and international standing as a centre of excellence for research in education was recognised in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise with a grade 5 rating. Our strategy towards research and research degrees is centred upon three key principles:

Research should seek to combine scholarly and empirical work on fundamental issues with a concern for development work linked to practice. A dialogue between fundamental study and development work can enrich both.
Research should recognise the importance of professional practice and be pursued through active collaboration with schools, colleges, LEAs, and voluntary and other professional bodies in the UK and internationally.
Research is often a multidisciplinary activity and strong links across specialisms must be encouraged and supported.
