"The University of Greenwich aims to transform the lives of students from a wide range of backgrounds by providing an education that enables them to become creative and confident contributors to society. The School of Education has the special role of both studying education as a discipline and in the preparation of professionals to work in education. In short our special business is in helping students learn how to transform lives through education.
The School aims to exemplify the very best of practice in learning and assessment through, for example, the use of electronic media, interactive lectures and seminars, peer learning, tutorial and a wide range of resources. We are also proud of the pastoral care that we provide and have a reputation for supporting students to achieve their goals. Another vital ingredient in maximising the success of our students is the diverse partnerships we have developed to facilitate professional learning in early years, primary, secondary, lifelong learning and informal educational settings. Indeed, the School is one of the most diverse of its kind in the country where academic and professional programmes across the field of education are supported by research and scholarship.
It is important to us that our students achieve their potential whether in having creative ideas about education or as professionals in education. In so many different ways our students are part of the future of education and will have developed the skills and knowledge to make a real difference to learning in their communities.
This is a serious remit for the School of Education but one that we relish. We look forward to working with students who feel the same."
