The Department of Lifelong and Comparative Education is a thriving multidisciplinary department whose mission is to undertake high quality research, teaching and policy advice on education. We focus on lifelong education and training beyond the school system. Our teaching is informed by the research that we do, that creates a thriving and vibrant community of practice that in turn, acts as a beacon, bringing in the very best students and staff. Our innovative research puts this department at the heart of the policy debate in our specialist areas.
