UCL, Institute of Education

Based in the heart of central London, the Institute of Education (IOE) is the UK’s leading centre for studies in education and related disciplines.

Founded in 1902 the IOE established itself as a world-leading specialist education institution and in December 2014 became a School of UCL. As such, the Institute of Education is part of one of the world’s leading multi-faculty institutions ranked fifth in the world (QS World University Rankings).

The IOE provides an intellectually rich and culturally diverse learning community with students, staff and scholars from over 100 countries. Many of our academic staff are world-renowned researchers in their field, as reflected in the UK government’s Research Assessment Exercise which placed the IOE first for education research in the country. Staff conduct research for governments, NGOs and international organisations meaning that the Institute’s expertise continually influence and shape educational policy across the world.

The IOE is ranked 1st in the world (QS world university rankings). The IOE is ranked first nationally for student satisfaction and offers outstanding academic and social facilities for those enrolled. This includes Europe’s largest education studies library, access to all University of London libraries as well as newly refurbished accommodation located just three minutes away from our modern campus.

Although training teachers is still an essential part of the IOE’s activity, the Institute has developed its role as a leader in national and international education policy and practice and the number one choice for education professionals from around the world to develop themselves and their careers. The Institute offers two undergraduate programmes, 60 flexible masters programmes and has the largest doctoral school in its field in the UK.
