The Institute of Education is committed to building and developing strong partnerships with diverse stakeholders.

Our partnerships help to foster a community of collaboration. We support global engagement to share ideas and learning opportunities, and enhance the scope of our students' career paths.

Working with a range of other organisations enables us to provide students with a collaborative and connected educational experience, both locally and internationally.  

Schools and settings

We maintain longstanding partnerships with over 400 schools and settings across Berkshire and the Thames Valley region in order to deliver our early years, primary and secondary teaching courses.
 

Further education colleges

We work closely with local Further Education Colleges in Basingstoke, Bracknell and Maidenhead, to deliver our two-year Foundation Degree in Children’s Development and Learning.

Academic visitors

Every year, we are delighted to welcome a diverse range of academic visitors from across the globe to our Institute. Our visitors enrich our academic community and make invaluable contributions to the work and life of our School.

International partnerships

Our international partnerships are crucial to our commitment to global engagement, as well as enhancing the vibrancy and culture of our wider School community.
