International students from the School of Education

International Students

Here at the School of Education we are proud of our long tradition of welcoming students and scholars from around the world.

Our priority is to stay up-to-date with the changing nature of education and to do this we are in constant contact with classrooms the world over, with strong teaching and research links on every continent.

Most of our students are already educators in their own countries. They include teachers, teacher trainers, senior educational managers and administrators, advisors, inspectors, curriculum developers and university lecturers.

Why study here?

The School of Education at the University of Leeds provides a range of academic possibilities for international students. Our postgraduate provision covers everything from specialist attachments of just a few weeks to specially-designed short courses for groups with particular professional needs, and also includes a wide range of Masters and doctoral programmes.

We run a highly-popular series of social and cultural events throughout the year, helping students to make friends while celebrating their individual cultures and backgrounds. Why not contact some of our former students or read highlights from the international newsletter to find out about what it's like to be an international student at the School of Education?

"Each year the School of Education welcomes one of the largest groups of international postgraduate students in the University, usually representing well over twenty nationalities. Being a member of such a cosmopolitan group adds an extra dimension to studying here and we think everyone benefits from the range of cultures, experiences and opinions that such a group provides.

We would be delighted if you came to join us!"

Dr Martin Wedell, Head of International Education
