Nottingham,
Welcome to the School of Education's website, where you can read about our
comprehensive programme of world-leading research, outstanding initial teacher
education, and innovative taught courses. The School of Education has a long
history of both teacher education and adult education that stretches back over
100 years. We are located on the award-winning Jubilee Campus and enjoy strong
partnerships with many schools and other organisations locally, nationally and
internationally. As well as training 300 new teachers each year in the UK, we
run an innovative PGCEi course in over 15 countries. In the latest Research
Excellence Framework, the vast majority of our outputs were assessed as
internationally excellent, with over half given the highest possible score of
4*. We have a longstanding relationship with UNESCO, several large-scale
European projects, and strong connections to US funders, including the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation. Much of the school's research portfolio is aimed at
having a real impact upon learners, organisations and educational systems. As
part of our commitment to research excellence, the school has a thriving
doctoral research community of students from around the world. The school has a
broad programme of postgraduate taught courses, largely focused on professional
learning. One distinctive strand of our postgraduate programme is professional
counselling education which emphasises humanistic and person-centred approaches.
The school is also home to the Centre for English Language Education (CELE),
which offers innovative presessional academic English courses to enable
applicants to reach the required level of academic English to start their degree
course. CELE also offers academic language and communication skills courses and
consultations to students whilst studying their degree. Our staff are experts in
their fields and members of the school's staff have been awarded student
nominated Lord Dearing awards for the quality of their teaching. We are often
highly-ranked in league tables, including: top five in the UK in the Complete
University Guide by Subject 2023 top 10 in the UK and top 50 worldwide in the QS
World University Rankings by Subject 2022 top 80 worldwide in the Times Higher
