Teaching at New Castle University

The School of Education is the largest School in the University with more than 4500 students studying in teacher education programs, around 800 postgraduate students undertaking advanced study in Education, and more than 125 students completing Masters or Doctoral programs by research. While many students study on campus, either at Callaghan, Ourimbah, Port Macquarie or North Rocks (through the Renwick Centre), the School also delivers a number of its programs online with access to students in countries throughout the world.

The School provides high quality teacher education programs that aim to develop graduates who are inspirational teachers with the capability to act professionally, ethically and effectively in educational settings; insightful scholars with the capability to engage in rational enquiry into curriculum, policy and practice; and innovative leaders with the capability to play a constructive role in public discourse on education. Graduates from our teacher education programs are highly regarded with many targeted for employment before the completion of their studies. A significant number of students progress from undergraduate studies through to postgraduate study or research.

The Educational Research Institute, Newcastle (ERIN) supports and brings focus to the School's research activities, with current major programs of research in the areas of teacher change, physical activity and population health education, and adaptive knowledge production.  Many academic staff in the School of Education enjoy international reputations for the quality of their research. The School also takes pride in its relationship with its many communities and especially the local schools of the Hunter, Central Coast and Mid-North coast regions.
