The Faculty of Education and Health Sciences boasts a vibrant research community. Members of our research community are active in researching and publishing in a range of areas, including education, health and wellbeing, social inclusion and human performance, with four key areas of research strength:
EHS Enhanced EU Research Funding
Accelerator Programme 2026
These interests are reflected in the number of research centres, units and groups that are affiliated with the Faculty and are national research leaders in their field. All research centres are affiliated more strongly with one school or department but are inter-disciplinary and work with researchers across the wider University.
