The Faculty of Education is one of the largest Faculties of Education in Australia and is at the forefront in many areas of teaching and research both nationally and internationally. It prepares people to work in all areas of education: child care and pre-school, primary school, secondary school, and in adult education and vocational education and training settings. The courses are strongly focused and responsive to what is happening in the rapidly changing world of education. They are designed to give students the best possible preparation for working in school and educational settings in the new millenium.
The faculty is committed to the use of multimedia in teaching, and there have been major developments in the use of the internet and the World Wide Web and of CD-ROM technology. This prepares students well for the rapidly expanding use of technology in educational and other work-based settings. All students have computer accounts, and the faculty has several well-equipped teaching and open-access computer laboratories.
Graduates from the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne are highly sought by employers, and often take on leadership roles in teaching and associated professions.
