EnglishWhat Research and Academic News Is Featured on the Edge Hill University Site?
Updated
Edge Hill University's site highlights research news across politics, social work, arts and wellbeing, plus recognition for its archive collections. The current news feed shows students contributing to parliamentary legislation, a first research project awarded by Social Work England, and a Lancet-published study on arts and young people's mental health. These items are news summaries rather than full research papers, so use them as a starting point and follow the linked stories for detail.
Research and academic stories currently featured
Politics students and parliamentary legislation
Edge Hill Politics students are described as gaining first-hand experience of politics in action. According to the site, they contribute to parliamentary legislation, present research to senior policing leaders, and engage directly with national political figures. This is the clearest example of taught students being involved in real-world research and policy work.
Social Work England research project
Edge Hill University and Liverpool Hope University are collaborating on a Social Work England research project. The site notes this is the first time Edge Hill has been awarded a research project by Social Work England — a useful signal if you are looking at social work research capacity or partnership activity.
Arts and young people's mental health
Research led by the Research Centre for Arts and Wellbeing at Edge Hill was published in the Lancet's eClinicalMedicine. The study highlights the positive role arts and arts therapies can play in supporting young people's mental health and wellbeing. For anyone considering arts, health or wellbeing research, this shows the centre's output reaching a leading medical journal.
Archive team awards
The Archives and Special Collections team celebrated a double award win at a presentation on the Ormskirk Campus. This is recognition news rather than a research project, but it indicates the profile of the university's special collections.

How to use this page
- If you are a prospective student: read the politics and social work stories to judge whether undergraduate or postgraduate research involvement matches what you want from a course.
- If you are looking for research collaboration: the Social Work England project and the arts and wellbeing study are the two items that point to active funded or published work.
- If you want the underlying research: the news items summarise findings and link to fuller stories; the Lancet publication is the one item named as appearing in a peer-reviewed journal.
The page also shows a course search with 1257 results, so research news sits alongside course discovery rather than in a separate research portal.
