Welcome to the School of Education

The School of Education is a research-intensive school within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and a key player in the professional preparation of teachers and other educational professionals in Australia and internationally. The School of Education emphasises the centrality of research and collaboration in determining how we should engage in our profession. We offer undergraduate programs, BABEd, BScBEd and DipEd, accredited by the NSW Institute of Teachers, that prepare students to be secondary teachers. The Master of Education and Master of Applied Linguistics programs provide students working, or intending to work, in a variety of educational and training contexts with opportunities to increase expertise and enhance capacity. Similarly the specialised Master of Educational Leadership program provides students with sophisticated understanding of leadership, management and administration in educational organizations. These coursework programs provide students the opportunity to engage in professional development at a very high level.

Research is a vital aspect of the School's activity and central to its existence. All academic staff members engage in their own research programs, often with the involvement of PhD, Masters by Research and Honours students. Research students enrolled in the School of Education experience rigorous research training that not only enables them to understand published educational research but to carry out their own research programs and publish in leading academic journals.

If you want to make a worthwhile contribution to our society through Education, you should consider applying for enrolment in the UNSW School of Education.
