Educational Foundations and Policy Studies

Head of Department - Dr David Crook      

Educational Foundations and Policy Studies (EFPS) is the UK's principal centre for work in the foundation disciplines of educational history, sociology and philosophy, and for teaching and research in policy studies, rights and social justice. Some of the leading global experts in these fields are located in this department. Our students benefit from research-led teaching and supervision from these world leaders.

It is the only university department within the UK that offers the specialist MA Education courses we run here at the Institute, nor with the concentration of field-leading academics.  Our students benefit from research-led teaching and supervision from these principal experts, as well as from access to the Institute's Newsam Library which houses the largest collection of materials on education in the United Kingdom.
