School of Education

The School of Education has been involved in the study of Education for over 100 years.


We offer courses that range from undergraduate BA programmes to doctoral level study. We have postgraduate Initial Teacher Education at both primary and secondary level. We also offer post-experience courses and higher degrees for those serving teachers and other educational professionals who wish to study at a higher level and continue their professional development.

At any one year we have between 80-100 international students studying in the School coming from most parts of the world.

We have a strong international profile in our teaching, research and consultancy. The CIER page gives details of our international expertise and research projects, the staff involved and our international partners. It also details scholarships for international students.

The School's research interests are at the heart of its mission and the School consistently scores highly in the Research Assessment Exercise which is held every 5 to 6 years. At the present we have a number of research groups at the School. These are:

All of this will make studying at the School of Education at the University of Birmingham an exciting and rewarding experience.
