The LSRI brings together staff from the Schools of Computer Science and IT, Education and Psychology, as well as expertise from other disciplines.
Applications are welcome in any area of the learning sciences and students will be jointly supervised by staff between two of the three Schools making up the Institute.
Potential PhD topics include, but are not limited to:
- Learning cultures and contexts.
- Global and distance learning.
- Mixed-reality learning technology.
