About

We aim to become Australia’s leading School of Education in the preparation of teachers, leaders and scholars. To achieve this, we’re partnering with others to research critical issues facing education here and around the world.

We're committed to becoming leaders in understanding Indigenous ways of learning and knowing. We are proud to be producing the next generation of Indigenous teachers, scholars and leaders.

Our approach to learning is holistic and inclusive of each of the domains of learning; cognitive, affective and psychomotor.  We focus on the whole child, teacher, school, and profession.

We are data driven and diagnostic in our approach. We use immersive and emerging technologies to enable better learning outcomes across each of these domains. Our students enjoy access to simulated technology proven to increase their understanding.

Our world-renowned researchers are delivering impactful research in a range of areas, including quality teaching, physical education, emerging technologies, inclusivity, and pedagogical innovation.

As one of the top Universities in the world for Education, our School is a great place to study, build a career, explore research and make an impact.

Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching, learning and research. Our School of Education is proud to be part of a University committed to equity, excellence and innovation.

We support prospective students from all backgrounds and walks of life to realise their dream of becoming inspiring educators and innovative leaders in their chosen field of early childhood, primary, secondary, community or higher education.

As a profession that requires strong interpersonal skills, clever planning, careful evaluation, disciplinary knowledge and interdisciplinary perspectives, our graduates take the skills and insights they have gained from their programs into diverse careers within and beyond the education sector.

Our commitment to quality teaching, the learning domains, and unmatched access to immersive learning technologies forms our wholistic approach to education and is what sets our students and our degrees apart from others.

We invite you to join our active School of Education community, and we look forward to supporting you on your academic and professional journey. Together, we can make a significant impact to teachers everywhere, and continue to deliver ground-breaking research.
