Organisation profile

here@lancaster is the Higher Education Research and Evaluation Centre in the Department of Educational Research. The Centre supports a wide range of research and evaluation work that is concerned with higher education in all its manifestations: teaching; research; administration; income generation. Members of the Centre are core providers of the Department's Doctoral Programme which focuses on higher education research, and of the part-time, distance learning PhD in Higher Education, Research, Evaluation and Enhancement.

The work of the Centre builds on research and evaluative work conducted by its predecessor, CSET. The Centre brings together many areas of expertise of current staff and research students in the Department, drawing on the experience of research into and evaluation of higher education institutions, systems and innovations that we have carried out over many years in the UK and abroad.
