Education Queen's University Belfast

Overview

Students become part of a lively community of over 200 full-time and part-time research students and study alongside researchers from more than 25 countries. The Education programme offered by Queen's University Belfast provides opportunities to develop research potential within a vibrant research community that prioritises the cross-fertilisation of ideas and innovative practices. Research informs the development of policies in areas including education, teaching and learning, the well-being of children, social cohesion and justice, mental health, and trauma informed practice.

Research in the programme comprises a variety of methodologies, including randomised control trials, ethnographic, children’s rights-based, multidisciplinary, projective and constructivist methodologies, and large-scale attitudinal surveys. Students are encouraged to join one or more of the School’s research centres and participate in national and international research networks.
