Our Projects

CRLL has established a strong externally focused research ‘brand’ based on a range of interconnected projects.  Its reputation is based on a strong portfolio of both basic and applied research that links to current and emerging discourses, policies and practices in Scotland and beyond. 

A wide range of previous and ongoing projects have captured this interest and include:

• Widening access to further and higher education
• The role of HNC/Ds in higher education in Scotland
• Links between FE and HE
• Community based FE
• Literacies for learning
  
• Learning lives
• University learning
• Work based and work related learning in foundation degrees and HNC/Ds
• Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs)
• The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF)
• Modern Apprenticeships
• Recognition of prior learning (RPL), both formal and experiential.
