Our research explores the fundamental processes involved in learning mathematics, and analyses, develops and evaluates pedagogical practice designed to enhance mathematical learning.

The Department of Mathematics Education is recognised for providing excellence in the delivery of University-wide mathematics support. Through the Mathematics Learning Support Centre, we provide support which is distinctive and of high quality to any students needing help with basic mathematics and statistics.

The Department supports and actively engages with programmes supporting good practice which ensures that all staff and students have equal opportunity to reach their potential.
