REAL-HE (Research About Learning in Higher Ed)

Research on learning and teaching in higher education is a diverse field, pertinent to all disciplines in higher education. It is critical for improving students’ learning, wellbeing, and outcomes. 

Unfortunately, this research is often undervalued and goes unrecognised beyond an educators’ immediate context. 

This Research Centre aims to increase the status of research relating to learning and teaching in higher education by increasing its quality and impact. 

Primarily, it aims to create a supportive network of researchers, educators, practitioners, and leaders, which exceeds disciplinary and geographical borders. 

Specifically it aims to:
1. provide training and support to researchers to develop and conduct rigorous pedagogic research
2. foster interdisciplinary and international collaborations to create a thriving global research community
3. strengthen the impact of research for practice
