The QUT Faculty of Education is unique in its blend of large-scale teacher education and research excellence. With over 5,300 students and almost 200 full-time staff, the Faculty is able to offer a comprehensive range of education specialist programs including, early childhood, primary, and secondary programs, and studies in higher education, workplace and community-based learning organisations. Award programs include Bachelor, Graduate Certificates and Diplomas, and Master's degrees, Professional Doctorate, and the Doctor of Philosophy.
The Faculty maintains strong linkages with the profession and sees its professional community incorporating state, national and international educational organisations. Staff are committed to improving the quality of Education for diverse learners both in Australia and beyond. Many of the Faculty's pre-service graduates are registered with the Queensland College of Teachers Registration but others work in child care settings or as trainers in community and industry settings, where registration is not required. A wide range of Professional Development programs provide learning opportunities for teachers and other educators across many specialisations. The consultancy web-site can help education professionals connect with QUT staff members with a wide range of expertise.
The Faculty is structured as four schools:
