What do we do?
The Education Team is the dedicated section within the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology (ION) responsible for all areas of student administration. The Team manages a portfolio of 9 Taught Graduate Courses and provides administrative, pastoral and generic academic support to over 250 research students registered at the ION. The Team is also responsible for some Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities run by the ION and its sister hospital, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. It runs an Elective programme for final year undergraduate medical students from UK, Europe and the rest of the world. The Team promotes best practice in the design and delivery of teaching and research supervision on site, in line with UCL policies and procedures.
Green Impact
The Education Team is a part of UCL's Green Impact initiative. We are committed to reducing waste and recycling wherever possible and review our practices regularly to ensure they are sustainable.
