Dean: Professor Cara Aitchison profile
The Faculty of Education and Sport is based at the Bedford campus and
whilst we have academic roots that go back to 1882 ‘we
are young and vigorous’ and enjoy a proven track record of rich learning
experiences coupled with exceptional teaching, research and a graduate
employment rate of 95%.
We also pride ourselves on our friendly and supportive atmosphere.
The Faculty consists of:
- The School of Education one of the largest education providers in the UK, was recently awarded the highest grade - Grade One – from Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) for the management and quality assurance of ITT courses.
- Department of Physical Education and Sport Studies is the largest provider of secondary PE teachers in the UK.
- Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences
- Division of Tourism, Leisure & Sport Management
- Institute for Research in Education
- International Tourism Research Centre
Our students come from diverse social and cultural backgrounds; some local, others from all over the UK and increasingly overseas. Many come to us after a break from full-time education. This makes the Faculty a exciting place be for students and staff and helps us to ‘evolve and develop.’
We work closely with our ‘partners’, who share our commitment to high quality training to ensure all who teach, support and develop young people can play a key role in raising standards and improving their life chances. This reflects in our excellent reputation in the field of education, scholarly enquiry and professional practice.
