Centres
Centre for Global Higher Education
The Centre for Global Higher Education conducts research on global higher education, its inequalities and its futures. Supported by the UK’s ESRC, and hosted by the Oxford’s Department of Education, the centre is a partnership that brings together students and researchers from across the world.
Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment (OUCEA)
The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment (OUCEA) conducts research in a wide range of assessment issues, in different sectors and educational levels. We focus on the role of assessment in public policy and system-level change. We actively engage with practitioners and policy-makers on current issues, collaborating with colleagues in a range of educational and assessment organisations around the world.
Rees Centre
The Rees Centre aims to improve the education, wellbeing and life outcomes of those who are, or have been supported by children’s social care services, with a focus on children in need, adoptive and special guardianship families and care experienced adults. We produce research and evidence which enables us to understand and improve the role of children’s social care in the education and lives of children and families. We conduct research to understand the nature and causes of outcomes, test ideas about how things might improve and to inform policy and practice.
Oxford University Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE)
The Oxford University Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE) is multi-disciplinary, with staff and associates from most branches of the social sciences. Our central aim is to examine the links between the acquisition and use of skills and knowledge, production and product strategies and economic performance – be it of individuals, organisations or countries.
