Leicester,
The School of Education at the University of Leicester is one of the largest in
the UK and has a long-standing reputation for teaching, research and
professional development. Formed in 1962, our many years of experience have
allowed us to develop effective programmes and training provision, designed to
meet our students' needs. We provide programmes for all phases of the study of
education, from initial teacher training to advanced research degrees. Our
courses offer experienced professionals the opportunity to obtain further
qualifications through various learning methods, full-time and part-time taught
courses, distance learning and by research. Our higher degree courses attract
students from across the world, resulting in a vibrant professional and cultural
diversity that enhances the sense of academic community as well as the quality
of teaching and learning. The School is extremely active and has been notably
successful in attracting a wide range of research projects and funding from a
variety of national and international funding bodies. Such funding has supported
a number of major projects, particularly within primary education, teacher
education and citizenship. We are a member of the College of Social Sciences,
Arts and Humanities. Our College covers a range of subject areas and empowers
interdisciplinary collaboration, having developed an intellectually-curious,
pioneering environment for our 13,000 students and 700 staff, who are changing
