The Institute for Policy Studies in Education (IPSE)

IPSE is an interdisciplinary research institute with diverse, highly qualified and experienced staff. We are committed to researching the social impacts of education policy and practice. With funding from international and national bodies including research councils, major charities and government departments we have research expertise across all sectors and contexts, from early years to informal adult learning. Using innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary ideas we have found new ways to understand educational and social problems and to have a high impact on user communities and policy makers. We share our ideas widely through our books, articles, reports, conference keynotes and papers, seminar series and postgraduate teaching.
