Our students

Our students benefit from a high-quality, personalised learning experience delivered by dedicated and supportive staff.

Our research

Many of our staff are engaged in research that has real impact. In the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) more than 80% of our research outputs were judged to be of international standard or above and we were commended for our high number of doctoral awards.

We have a vibrant programme of research seminars and building research capacity workshops and are involved in projects that have national and internationally excellent outputs.

Research in the faculty is organised around four thematic areas: leadership, policy and theory, children’s health, wellbeing and inclusion, pedagogy and professional practice and technology enhanced learning.

Our partnerships

Engagement with institutions, organisations and communities outside the University is important to us.

We have strong partnerships with more than 600 primary schools, secondary schools and colleges in Teesside, North Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire and North & North East Lincolnshire.
