School of Education and Lifelong Learning

Our School is driven by research and scholarship. We are known for our work in pedagogy, curriculum and professional learning, in schools, higher education and in public educational sites like libraries.

We research the impact of teaching and learning in a range of subjects, as well as lifelong learning cultures in contexts including families, pre-school learning, and in digital realms. We co-host the UNESCO Chair in Adult Literacy and Learning for Social Transformation with the School of Global Development.

We offer undergraduate courses in Education and in Physical Education, Sport and Health. At postgraduate level we have a range of specialist full-time and part-time Master's courses, including Leadership and Management in Education; Learning, Pedagogy and Assessment; TESOL, and Second Language Learning and Mathematics Education.

Our teacher education courses prepare postgraduates for work in primary and secondary schools, and are highly-rated by Ofsted. Students spend significant time in schools, working in partnership with mentors and subject specialists.

We have a thriving doctoral community, with PhD students from across the world, EdPsyD and part-time EdD professionals.
