Higher Education in Transition (HET) research group explores the ongoing transitions within higher education by researching higher education institutions, communities and individuals from societal, cultural and pedagogical perspectives.
Research focus and goals
Research activities in the HET group are organised around four focus areas which aim to bridge different theoretical and disciplinary approaches and to have a systemic and holistic understanding on higher education. These focus areas aim to transcend the traditional division between psychological and sociological theories in the interpretation of education.
The focus areas of HET group:
- Curriculum, culture and communities
- Student experience and learning
- Internationalisation in higher education and educational environments
- Community and professional development in educational organisations
HET group conducts research and development projects with national and international partners. Read more about the HET group's activities and publications on the group's website.
