Why join us at the SoE?

In short: professional knowledge, research expertise and quality of teaching! The School of Education is one of the largest and most active centres of educational research in the UK. We are housed in a new £19million landmark building offering the latest teaching facilities in the heart of the Highfield Campus. As you would expect from one of the UK’s leading research-driven universities, our tutors have many years experience at local, national and international level in developing practice and theory in the fields within our programmes. Our inspections by both OFSTED and the Higher Education Quality Assurance Agency have identified our teaching, support and QA systems as being of the highest quality and our Research Degrees are all recognised for quality by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
