Education

The creation of a knowledge-rich society and economy: this is the vision of Victoria’s Faculty of Education.

The very best teachers understand that every stage of a child’s development is of equal importance for the formation of knowledge and all are essential for building the confidence to succeed.

To this purpose, the Faculty upholds a commitment to lifelong learning by developing great teachers who make a positive, enduring difference to the lives of children and young adults.

The Faculty offers undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programmes spanning every aspect of the study of education, preparation for teaching and professional development of teachers.

Graduates are equipped to take up the challenges of the rapidly changing world of education; they excel as anchors of knowledge in classrooms at every level.

The Faculty’s Jessie Hetherington Centre for Educational Research is named after a pioneer of New Zealand education practice and focuses on research and development to enhance theoretical and evidence-based educational policy and practice from early childhood to higher education both nationally and internationally.
