The School of Education is the University of New England's largest School, offering a very broad range of studying opportunities. We invite you to explore the School's web site as you progress through your course or if you are perhaps researching with a view to studying with us. Click to view our subject areas then link to the pages specific to these areas for information about courses available to study within the School of Education.
We encourage you to visit the Student Centre website, where you will find downloadable information and forms, such as: the procedures for requesting a copy of your academic record (transcripts), the Universities policies regarding advanced standing, plagiarism, special consideration and special extension of time. The sidebar for this site also contains a plethora of materials relevant to your situation - such as HECS-HELP, timetables and textbooks.
As you study with us, you will become aware of our passion for research. The School of Education's research webpage shows evidence of this passion and commitment. The Research Services website will provide you with forms and information about entry to Research Higher Degrees, Research Grants and Postgraduate Scholarships, Intellectual Property, as well as links across to associated policies.
The Teaching and Learning Centre also provides information to students with an emphasis on off-campus and flexible learning. You will find downloadable information about referencing your written work, learning online, the Academic Skills Office, residential and weekend schools, and provision for enquiries about learning material packages.
The Professional Experience Office (Practicum)
