Welcome to the Centre for Educational Studies

The Centre for Educational Studies (CES) is part of the Faculty of Education and has a national reputation for high-quality teaching and research. Our experienced and dedicated staff will help you achieve your goals.

CES is on the University’s Hull campus. The department has a range of facilities including modern seminar rooms and specialist teaching classrooms for initial teacher training including a Modern Language studio and new teaching laboratory and  preparation room.

We offer a large selection of full, part-time and online courses, from Foundation Degrees to Masters and Doctoral Level programmes.

CPD for the School Workforce

If you are interested in continuing your professional development we would like to hear from you.

As an example of just one of the CPD options we run, in 2012 - 13 we  are offering a French Subject Knowledge Enhancement course for teaching staff.

What do our graduates do?

Our Foundation Degree and BA undergraduate courses prepare you for a range of careers in education and community work while offering the chance to develop transferable skills. Our BA students have the option to apply to our PGCE teacher training courses and many have gone on to work in settings including early years, children’s centres, schools, local authority teams, for educational charities and educational projects.

Our postgraduate programmes build on your existing skills and knowledge. Students completing our Initial Teacher Training programmes (primary PGCE and secondary PGCE) have excellent employment prospects as newly qualified teachers.

All our students also have the option of continuing with their professional development and enhancing their promotion prospects through our Masters and Doctoral Level programmes.
