Leigh Wood - Research

My research area is in learning and teaching in higher education and, recently has focussed on transition to the workplace. I work with international teams to investigate cross cultural student learning. My latest work involves interviews with graduates and their reflections on their studies. Topics include:

  1. Transition to the workplace (graduate attributes, generic skills etc)
  2. Discipline-specific academic language development for non-English speaking background students
  3. Mapping course components
  4. Professional development for university lecturers
