Course summary

The Department of Mathematics Education (formerly the Mathematics Education Centre) is one of the largest mathematics education research groups in the UK. In the Research Excellence Framework 2014, 85% of our research activity was judged to be ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, putting us amongst the highest of all education departments in the UK. Our research focuses on two interest groups: Culture, Pedagogy and Identity, and Mathematical Cognition. We explore the fundamental processes involved in learning mathematics, as well as the design and evaluation of innovative pedagogy. Academics from the Department have won national and international awards for their research and research-informed teaching practices. They connect with other specialists throughout the UK and run monthly seminars and workshops, attracting academics and researchers from across the region, which you will benefit from as a student, along with our reading group sessions.
