 Introduction to the School
From its launch in 1960, the School has successfully grown into one of the UK's leading providers of education-related and teacher-training courses. The wealth of experience gained over the past five decades has enabled the School to create a diverse range of postgraduate and professional courses offering students the opportunity to train to be teachers or study education in its widest context. The School undertakes award-winning, pioneering research which informs government policy. A number of staff contribute their expertise to national bodies, shaping the future of UK education.
Postgraduate Teacher-Training Courses
The School is a highly regarded centre for training teachers for primary, secondary school and further education colleges. With extensive partnership arrangements with local schools and colleges, trainees benefit from the expertise and guidance of practicing teachers as well as from university tutors.
Trainee teachers develop good subject knowledge and gain a range of experiences in the classroom and other settings, giving them a wider understanding of children's learning. This preparation makes the trainees very attractive to schools and the proportion of NTU teacher trainees who find teaching employment after graduation is above the national average (OFSTED Report 2010).
Courses include:
Graduate and Professional courses
For those already working within education who want to gain further academic qualifications and enhance their career progression the School has a range of course that offer flexible progression routes with a variety of entry and exit points, enabling students to progress through different levels at their own pace.
Courses include:
Research
The Graduate School provides opportunities to study for a PhD or MPhil across a wide range of disciplines or study for the Professional Doctorate in Education. These can be studied either full or part-time and some courses can be taken via distance learning.
Research is seen as an important activity to ensure the vitality and health of academic subjects. It underpins and enriches the teaching that takes place on our undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses. Research students become part of our academic community, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge with them. They are encouraged and helped to form a mutually supportive and friendly critical community.
