About the Learning Institute

Founded in 2000 as the Institute for the Advancement of University Learning, the Oxford Learning Institute exists to support excellence in learning, teaching and research at the University of Oxford by promoting professional, vocational and management development and contributing to policy development. We take a research-informed approach to all our activities.

We have more information available about the Learning Institute, including our staff, our location, and our annual reports, plus information about resources and publications held by the Learning Institute. We also have information about the policy context of our work.
