What our students have said about us
Studying at IOE has been a great investment, mostly because of the opportunity it provides for students to work closely with researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. Learning from these experts, and hearing first-hand about their various influential research projects, makes studying a postgraduate degree at the IOE hugely rewarding and inspiring. -- Lydia Bailey
