Education and Lifelong Learning

Teaching

Our teaching is led by experienced educators and researchers who bring real-world insights into the classroom. Programmes are designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and reflective practice.

Facilities

You'll benefit from access to modern learning spaces - Education and Lifelong Learning has its own dedicated building, the Margaret McMillan Building.

You'll also have access to digital resources, and the Teachers' Centre which supports professional development.

In addition, you'll have access to specialist software, online learning platforms, and dedicated support for developing digital and entrepreneurial skills. Campus-wide services, including the Library, Careers Service, and Goldsmiths’ Digital Studios, provide additional training and resources for content production and communication.

Events and guest speakers

Regular events and guest lectures feature prominent figures in education, the arts, politics and the media, giving you exposure to current debates and practices.

Career development

Graduates pursue careers in teaching, educational policy, research, business, law and community work. The department supports career readiness through placements and professional networks.
