Focusing on children, youth, education, parenting and care

Educational and Family studies

Educational and Family Studies provides study programs in Educational Sciences and Clinical Child and Family Studies. With our research we promote understanding of parenting, children’s development, education and care, and we work on evidence-based interventions in those areas.

What opportunities and barriers do children and young people face in education? How can parents, teachers, school leaders and policy-makers be supported in ensuring positive educational outcomes for all learners? And how can we create inclusive learning environments and education systems?
These questions are addressed by the Division of Educational Sciences. The division is part of the Department of Education and Family Studies (POW) and the Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences.

The Department of Educational and Family Studies consists of two research groups: Clinical Child and Family Studies and Educational Sciences. We combine insights from pedagogy with knowledge from psychology, neuroscience, and other social sciences, using a variety of research methods to bridge the gap between science and practice.
