In joining us, you enter a community that values and enjoys teaching, learning and research in an environment of excellence. We specialise in innovative and flexibly taught programmes and research degrees with a strong professional orientation. Many of our students are mid-career professionals who bring with them extensive knowledge and experience which informs and enriches our learning community.
All our teaching is underpinned by a belief that adults learn best in an environment which is evidence-led, encourages reflective practice and a peer-led approach to teaching and learning. We pride ourselves on the high quality of professional support that we provide to all our students.
Follow the "Prospective students" link above - or the following links - for details of the excellent courses we offer Undergraduates, in Initial Teacher Education and Postgraduates.
Overseas Trained Teachers and Graduate Teachers can find forms and information for their programme - supported by the Training and Development Agency - within these pages.
We are proud of our extensive research portfolio and try to ensure that our taught programmes interact with and inform our vibrant research programme. Our three research centres - the Centre for International Education (CIE), the Centre for Inquiry & Research in Cognition, Learning and Teaching in Sussex (CIRCLETS) and the Centre for Higher Education and Equity Research (CHEER) - are very active in research and consultancy work.
