Education research at Warwick is ranked 3rd best in the country

Staff in the Centre for Applied Linguistics were submitted under the Education unit of assessment, along with others at Warwick who work in the Education field. This combined group of Education researchers performed extremely well in the 2014 REF (Research Excellence Framework). The group were examined for the quality of their research publications, their research environment and the impact of their research. They were ranked 3rd in the UK for the quality of their Education research, taking into account both the grade point average of their ratings and the proportion of eligible staff submitted.

More specifically, the group achieved the following: 32% of their work was judged to be world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour, and 44% was judged to be internationally leading in these respects.

CAL Staff (Helen Spencer-Oatey, Sophie Reissner-Roubicek and Daniel Dauber), along with colleagues in the International Office (Stephen Williams, Claire O'Leary and Emily Lim) and in the Students' Union (Cathryn Turhan), have won Warwick's Outstanding Team Award for their innovative ‘collaborative triangle’ to address the issue of integration between domestic and international students.

Dominic Scott OBE, Chief Executive, UKCISA said:

"The key to their success has been the collaboration between their academics, their International Office and their Students’ Union as this has ensured the practitioners have taken a research-informed approach. This has been to the benefit of all UK universities and students’ unions as well as to the student experience at Warwick and established Warwick as one of, if not the leading player in this area."

The team have been running a popular Warwick Integration Summit for several years. In 2014 the summit attracted 150 delegates from 63 institutions. The team members wrote a 44-page booklet, published by the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA). It has been distributed to 550 institutions and has had significant impact.
