Welcome to the Faculty of Education Research Students' Association

FERSA stands for the Faculty of Education Research Students' Association. All graduate research students across MPhil, MEd, EdD and PhD cohorts are members of FERSA. We are an incredibly diverse group of research students and education practitioners. Each year, FERSA members elect a Committee of student representatives, which includes an Executive team, Output Chairs, Representatives and Officers who strive to ensure the graduate student experience at the faculty is meaningful and enriching. We facilitate collaboration, support, and networking among research-oriented graduate students and the faculty. We create academic and professional development opportunities, promote research excellence, and enhance the overall experience of research students at the faculty.

Each year, we organize activities for graduate students, including parts of induction, our FERSA blog, formals, academic seminars, welfare events, and quite a bit more.We also have student-led outputs: Kaleidoscope Conference, Cambridge Educational Research e-Journal and the Oxford-Cambridge Exchange.
