School of Education
We are passionate about education and its power to transform lives. Our dynamic and inclusive school is built on a foundation of social justice, ensuring that every individual is valued and supported to experience the fullest opportunity to thrive.
We work closely with local, regional, and global partners to inspire and engage the next generation of educators and leaders. Our students gain hands-on experience through work-based learning opportunities, from children’s centres and food banks to international schools. Our teacher training programmes benefit from the region’s most extensive network of school partnerships.
With innovative undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, advanced research and professional learning opportunities, and a vibrant academic community, we support students, researchers, and wider stakeholders, in making a meaningful impact.
Located in the heart of Liverpool, with cutting-edge facilities and an inspiring outdoor learning zone, we are committed to enriching lives and driving courage and creativity in education.

When we set up our School-led programme we wanted to work with a university partner who shared and supported our aims of working creatively and flexibly, to provide the highest quality training. We found exactly what we wanted in the team at LJMU.
