Teaching and learning

Having been primarily a dedicated research centre for 20 years, Norah Fry Research Centre has now taken on a teaching portfolio. Our aim is to support high quality teaching and learning programmes in the Centre, which are consistent with our values and reflect our research.

We believe that research leads to good teaching and research support, and that teaching and learning programmes enhance our research.
