Study and Careers
The Faculty of Education aims to engage students as active members of a community of learning, offering challenging, high-quality academic programmes of study, and opportunities for an excellent student experience on campus and further afield.
We offer undergraduate and graduate teacher education qualifications spanning the early childhood, primary and secondary sectors. We believe that well-educated teachers with a commitment to lifelong learning will make a positive difference to the lives of the children they teach and will contribute to the creation of New Zealand’s knowledge society and economy.
The Faculty provides qualifications which recognise education as a multidisciplinary field, enabling students to work effectively within the diversity of the education industry.
Courses offered in the discipline of Education (which includes areas such as educational psychology, human development, education policy and counselling) and Early Childhood Studies contribute to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. Study in these areas will give you transferable knowledge, skills and understanding to make judgements and analyse problems, preparing you for a rewarding future career.
Our postgraduate programmes are designed to enable teachers and other education professionals to engage in further study relevant to their work and undertake thesis research in an area of interest.
