Welcome to the School of Education

The School's mission is to develop learning and leadership for a changing world. This it does through research and teaching that promotes achievement, opportunity, and social justice.

Understanding and improving education as a basis for opportunity and social inclusion is central to the health and future of societies.

Since it was founded in 1913, the School has achieved international prominence and distinction in developing the professional and academic skills of educationists in the United Kingdom and around the world.

Today, we teach and guide over 1005 students from more than 70 different countries in teacher training, undergraduate, masters’ and doctoral programmes each year. These programmes lead to careers in research, teaching, school leadership, educational and social policy, educational psychology, teaching English as an additional language, and many other fields.
