About us
We are one of the country’s major providers of education, training and research for the children’s workforce.
Founded in 1946 as a teacher training college, the University of Worcester has been training inspirational teachers for over 70 years. The Institute of Education has built on this legacy to develop a reputation for the highest quality provision, partnership working and delivery.
We place a great value on the individual, and creating a friendly and supportive environment in which to work and learn. This approach has allowed us to develop a programme of high quality courses, school support services and research.
