Delivering research with impact

We have a proven track record for delivering research with impact, demonstrated by a number of prestigious research grants and fellowships, including one of the largest philanthropic grants awarded to education in Australia. The School of Education has won 77% of the College of Human and Social Futures' (normalised) research income from 2015 - 2020 and is home to 20% of the Level D and E staff.

The School is home to two Research Centres that are changing lives across Australia and the world through interventions positively impacting teaching quality, as well as health and physical activity.

Supporting our teachers

Other areas of research strength include education policy, curriculum and pedagogy, educational leadership, special and inclusive education, and research training and innovation, among others.

The School of Education is currently supervising more than 190 Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates from 28 countries.

We continue to actively collaborate with fellow researchers, industry partners, international colleagues and other Colleges within the University to drive change and inspire new ways of thinking.
