We're one of the UK’s largest providers of high-quality education courses with a long-established reputation.
We've been educating professionals, including teachers, researchers, early years practitioners, youth workers and teaching assistants, for over 100 years. Our expertise spans all phases of learning and development, from the early years through to adult education.
Our model of higher education is based on a spirit of enquiry and the active, co-creation of knowledge and understanding amongst staff, students and external partners, in relation to learning, teaching and research.
Our students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to be educators who impact positively on the life chances of others and who contribute, as a result, to the betterment of society more broadly.
