From local to global research
The School of Education at the University of Glasgow is committed to social justice and high-quality education research and practice. It aims to address contemporary educational issues and support vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
The School's staff are organised into four research and teaching groups (RTG's), research centres and research networks, all committed to social justice. Researchers cover all education sectors, integrating research, theory, policy, and practice.
Key research themes include urban learning, adult learning, youth transitions, migration and refugee education, collaborative schooling, and ethics in education. The School offers diverse courses and has a large group of postgraduate students.
The School's interdisciplinary research supports equitable societies, evidenced by contributions to major programmes like What Works Scotland and the Urban Big Data Centre. It also interacts critically with government and policymakers, contributing to positive societal impact in Scotland.
Collaborations with over 200 organisations worldwide are showcased on our interactive map.
