Centre for Research-Informed Teaching

The Centre for Research-informed Teaching was established in 2007 with a £1.1m grant from HEFCE.  Based in the Learning Development Unit and led by Professor Stuart Hampton-Reeves, the Centre manages a number of projects which explore, support and promote the teaching-research nexus at UCLan.

We research the teaching-research nexus and we offer support to staff and students across the University. Key projects include Diffusion: The UCLan Journal of Undergraduate Research, The UCLan Journal of Pedagogic Research, Impact and the Undergraduate Research Intern Scheme.  

In 2008, the Centre's work was commended as good practice by the Quality Assurance Agency in its audit report on the University. The QAA team praised the Centre for raising students' aspirations. This is important work for us and for the University and we are keen to develop partnerships both in the University and beyond, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.
