Dear students,Ìý

On behalf of myself and my colleagues, a warm welcome to the 2024-25 academic year; we are delighted to have you study with us. Ìý

Whether you have joined us for a few months or much longer, we want your time at IOE to be transformative. Some of you are commencing your course straight from school or college, and others long after the start of your career. Regardless, this is the start of a new journey – of meeting new people, engaging with new knowledge and ideas, learning and honing new skills. This should be challenging, rewarding – and transformative – for your own development, but also for the communities and workplaces you are part of. This is because our students and how they put their learning to use are our most important legacy. Ìý

How do we support this? IOE is an incredibly vibrant and inspiring place to work and learn, and I am very proud to be its Director and Dean. It is home to a rich concentration of world-leading scholars in the fields of education, social science and the humanities, as well as a student body from over 100 countries, all supported by our fantastic library. Your course will be demanding, but I hope you can also make the most of wider opportunities, including the many seminars and events at IOE for you to get involved with and, indeed, initiate. This is not to mention all the facilities, societies and sources of support available to you across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, including the newly opened campus at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê East, and through the Students’ Union.   Ìý

Please do let us know how we’re doing, so that we can develop the support and opportunities available for our students in close collaboration with you.   Ìý

In the meantime, over the coming months I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and hearing about your time at IOE. For now, I wish you every success with your programme. Ìý
